Publisher's Synopsis
Born into the direst poverty in Liverpool, Linny escapes the life of prostitution, transforms herself into a young lady, and flees to India, where the British Raj is in its infancy. There she will find heartache and suffering, but also an understanding of what love can mean and - perhaps most precious of all - freedom. Full of passion, intrigue and colour THE LINNET BIRD is an epic read in the tradition of THE THORN BIRDS and GONE WITH THE WIND, an enthralling tale of one young girl's destiny and her struggle for happiness and survival.
