Love, passion and the struggle to survive. A powerful writer in the bestselling tradition of Catherine Cookson, Josephine Cox and Iris Gower

If you like Catherine Cookson, Dilly Court and Katie Flynn, then this absorbing, moving and highly emotional saga from much loved author Jess Foley is perfect for you.

'A jolly good read... Abbie is a great character, buffeted by fate but a powerful woman of her time' -- Susan Sallis 'Jess has really captured the sense of a family united against great odds. Her heroine, Abbie, is strong but flawed as all good heroines should be and as we follow her triumphs and trials we see her change from a girl to a woman in the most dramatic and satisfying of ways' -- Iris Gower 'Compulsive and well-paced' -- Wiltshire Times 'Couldn't put it down' --

* LOVE, PASSION AND THE STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE...

Growing up in a small Wiltshire village, Abbie Morris has always known what lies ahead of her - a dull and dismal life of drudgery. Matters get worse when Abbie is twelve and their emotional, spirited mother casts them into a crisis for which no one is prepared.

Six years later, the Morris family have rebuilt their lives, and when Abbie and Beatie, Abbie's adored elder sister, set off for the county fair, the world seems a good place.

But their new-found happiness is short-lived. A chance encounter with Louis, a personable, handsome stranger, has repercussions that threaten to destroy Abbie's peace of mind for ever.

Abbie struggles to forget what happened that night and to get on with her life, and when she meets charming, honourable Arthur - and re-encounters Louis - it becomes clear that she might never recover from the night they stayed so long at the fair...

Reviews for So Long At The Fair: a compelling saga of one woman’s search for fulfilment that you won’t be able to put down…

I would recommend this book to both primary and secondary teachers and SENCOs who are involved in planning to meet the needs of dyslexic pupils. I have found it a useful resource when planning training about dyslexia for SENCOs, teaching assistants and secondary school teachers.
