![]() ![]() After 30 years of marriage, Arla still feels ostracised by her mother-in-law and her husband’s two sisters. ![]() I mention this to illustrate how easily I can relate to the problems faced by Stevie Turner’s female protagonist, Arla and her controlling mother-in-law Edna. It took a long time for the pair of them to become reconciled to the fact of our love for each other. That was 54 years ago and ‘the floosy’ and I are still happily married. My mother believed I was throwing my life away, that the young woman she referred to as a ‘floosy’ was certainly not good enough for me. It was my finac ée’s 17th birthday and I had made the proposal some six months previously. I can still remember my mother’s reaction when, aged 20, I announced that I was engaged to be married. ![]()
