A Rust of the Heart

Meet Jen, first born and second best, undervalued and overlooked, sharp-witted and sharp-tongued. Her desire to be the centre of attention never leaves her. Follow her story through engaging windows into her world, decades apart over fifty years. She is not afraid to say what others often think as she navigates through a life filled with envy and dissatisfaction whilst being constantly eclipsed by a magnificent younger sister. Will she ever find happiness? Sharply evoked characters and clarity of language make for a lively, page-turning read in this debut novel by Jane Barrie.
