Publisher's summary

Kit Mason has lived a life of unimaginable pain. An ex-prostitute, she has fled the clutches of an abusive pimp and now finds herself living hand to mouth in a new city, without anyone to help her.

Frances Thornton seems to be living the perfect life. A lawyer from a privileged background, her perfect façade hides the painful secrets that still haunt her.

Brought together by their attempts to conquer their addictions in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, the two women strike up an unlikely friendship.

But can they find strength in each other - or will the demons of their past catch up with them?

Disappointed!

There are 8 Angela Marsons audio books available of which six are in the outstanding Detective Kim Stone series which are all 5 star suspense mysteries. The Forgotten Woman is contemporary fiction. British author Angela Marsons should stick to the mystery/thriller genre.

Depressingly redundant

This was sooo redundant with descriptions of settings and women whining or being sooo dumb. I could not listen to anything past the 3rd Chapeter.

A Great Read

I enjoyed the book! I thought the narrator was very good and told the story very well. This is not a Kim Stone murder mystery. But the bewilderment of daughters who are neglected emotionally, who cannot understand why their efforts to be loved are ignored by their mothers and what befalls them is authentic. Mother’s boyfriend who rapes and teen aged pregnancy do occur. Teen prostitution happens. How two women, one poor, one rich come together in an AA situation and grow together is poignant. The Forgotten Woman was a very satisfactory read!

Humph.

I LOVE Angela Marson’s. The Overall 1 is because I never finished the book due to the narration. Performance is a 1 due to the narration (although Alison is not bad but the inflections and pitch are lackluster…I am sorry). The Story…I did not nor wish not to finish as I can’t take the narration and could not get through the first chapter…..thrice. I may buy the book and read myself when I am not busy. Or not.

So surprised

I loved this book! It's not my normal genre of murder mysteries but I was in between books and this author is one of my faves. I spent the credit and I'm so glad I did. This book is about 2 women from opposite sides of the tracks but have a common bond that seals their friendship. I didn't want to stop listening! The narrator was excellent also!
