Title: Hope Against Hope
Author: Sally Zigmond
Narrator: Anne Dover
Format: Unabridged
Length: 18 hrs and 13 mins
Language: English
Release date: 05-12-10
Publisher: ISIS Audio Books
Genres: Romance, Historical
Publisher's Summary:
At the dawn of the Victorian epoch, two young sisters, industrious Carrie and vivacious May, lose home and livelihood when their Leeds pub is sold to make way for the coming of the railway. They head for Harrogate to find work in the burgeoning hotel trade, only to fall prey to fraudsters before being driven apart by misunderstanding, pride, and a mutual sense of betrayal.
Estranged from one another, Carrie and May must each pursue their own destinies as they seek to overcome misfortune and look for lasting happiness. Their separate paths will cross those of three men: Alex Sinclair, a warm-spirited Scottish railway pioneer; Charles Hammond, the dissolute heir to a manipulative mother, and Byron Taylor, entrepreneur and consummate womaniser.

Railways and Revolutions
There is a large cast of characters in HOPE AGAINST HOPE, but Sally Zigmond never loses her grasp of any of the threads as the reader is whisked from Leeds to Harrogate to London and to Paris, and back again. On the way we take in a revolution in Paris, a revolution of a different kind - the coming of the railway -in the north of England, and the emergence of Harrogate as `the place to visit'.
The author paints her word pictures with an assured skill, and the characters intrigue, irritate and delight by turns. I was particularly taken with the two villains of the piece and their ingenious money-making scams, but the most memorable character in this novel turns out to be Harrogate itself. I found it fascinating to discover the history of one of my favourite English towns and will certainly try to remember to take this novel with me as a guide, when I next visit Yorkshire!
