Chrissie Yates - The Matriarch

Ada Jackson knows poverty, has lived it, tasted the bitterness of hopeless despair and will do whatever it takes to ensure she and her family never return to the squalor of Rotherham’s forgotten backstreets. Fate has given her a chance, a chance she has grasped, elevating her and those she loves into a world of plenty. But it’s never enough.
The story of ‘The Matriarch’ spans decades of a family tearing itself apart, imitating a world that is also destroying all that is good, as two world wars rage in the background.
Only the strong can survive the carnage. Only the brave can survive ‘The Matriarch’.
