The Coffin Maker's Daughters Sweet Thunder

The Coffin Maker's daughters were all named after flowers: Lily, Violet, Daisy, May, Rose and Marigold. This is Daisy's story.The Wakefield farm is bleak, the inhabitants even bleaker. Jonas Wakefield, a religious bigot, has a wife on the brink of insanity and a simpleton for a son. Daisy Spencer's arrival to take up the position of housemaid has a devestating affect on all their lives.
Sweet Thunder follows the young girl from here to the warmth and magic of the Victorian Variety Theatre and back again.
It is a story of passions, love and hatred, jealousy and revenge, of courage and the resilience of the human spirit, reinforcing the belief of good over evil.
