Description
"The WIngless Bird" follows the fortunes of three very different families, all linked by the strong-minded Agnes Conway. The story starts on Christmas Eve 1913, when a disenchanted Agnes is once again behind the counter of the family sweetshop. Feeling taken for granted by her family and uncertain about where her life is going, she can't help feeling envious of the happy young couple who come in to buy Christmas treats. That encounter marks the start of her involvement with the wealthy Farrier family as first Charles, and later Reg, fall in love with her. Meanwhile, she finds herself entangled with the notorious scrapping family, the Feltons, as she goes to the aid of her younger sister Jessie.
