The Girl from Cobb Street
(2015)(The Officer's Wife)
(The first book in the Daisy Driscoll Sagas series)A novel by Merryn Allingham
The Girl for Cobb Street written by Merryn Allingham for me was not only a great read but one which kept me guessing to the very end. Daisy Driscoll is the main character and we first meet her when she arrives after a very long sea journey in India believing she is finally going to see the man she loves and is planning to marry. Immediately Daisy is soon disappointed and she soon realises India is not only a country she knows very little about. Gerald her new husband is not the man she first fell in love with in London a few weeks prior to her arrival not only that with him serving in the Indian army there are so many rules and regulations she must follow to fit in with the many wives who rule India in their own and very unique way. But Daisy has come a long way to be with her new husband and she is not the little wife who will obey without questioning and for me she was the perfect main character for this very entertaining book.
The Girl from Cobb Street is a wonderful read and it was a love story but not in the way I first expected it to be as Daisy soon sees the hidden beauty of India and its many inhabitants. This read had it all mystery, suspense, full of fear and so much more and this is one book which will keep you reading to the very late hours as if you are like me as a reader I had to know will Daisy finally get the life she deserves or has she put her trust in the wrong man once again which will bring her on a journey she could only have had nightmares of as Daisy has so many unanswered questions along with a servant who despised her from the beginning she clearly had not only arrived in a strange country but one which hid many mysteries behind every locked door - it was up to Daisy to seek the truth she clearly needed to survive.
The Girl from Cobb Street written by Merryn Allingham is the first book in this very promising series.
The second book published in May 2015 is The Nurse's War (Daisy's War - Book 2)
Genre: Sagas
