My Beloved Son

My Beloved Son

Ellen Jebeau married a man who did little but dream, and who then died with debt his only legacy. Whatever else her marriage had lacked, however, she had her son Joseph. Ellen resolved he should have all in life she had missed and to achieve that end, she would stop at nothing.

It was Sir Arthur Jebeau, her late husbandâ€™s brother, who came to her aid, and soon Ellen and Joseph were living at the old family seat at Screehaugh. It was a convenient arrangement, one which Ellen was not slow to recognise could work to her advantage, for Sir Arthur was a widower and Screehaugh had no mistress...

That was in 1926, but the working out of so many increasingly intertwined destinies would continue for twenty more years and only come to a final resolution with Joseph Jebeauâ€™s escape from the traumatic heritage of his motherâ€™s ruthless ambition and the emergence of his own true self.

My Beloved Son is one of Catherine Cooksonâ€™s most compelling and deeply moving novels.
