The Chainmakers Now on Kindle

Wirral, United Kingdom, March 05, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Helen Spring’s novel, ‘The Chainmakers’ has just been put on Kindle at a very low price. If you haven’t already read it, take advantage of this new format, it’s a gripping yarn.

Prefer the feel of a paperback? You can get it from Helen’s website www.helenspring.co.uk, where you can also sample a ‘quick dip’, but of course you’ll pay more.... this is a glimpse of the story....

Against a backcloth of the blistering heat and grinding poverty of the chainshops of the Black Country, this compelling love story charts the struggle of young Anna Gibson to forge a new life from the remnants of betrayal by her lover, and a tragic marriage of convenience.

A simple offer of work as an artists’ model proves to be the catalyst for complete change, taking Anna from the sunny beaches and liberal attitudes of an artists' colony in Brittany, to the struggle to survive and make good in the immigrant community of downtown New York.

The lessons learned along the way serve Anna well, and she finds herself still making chains, but this time chains of restaurants, leading to wealth if not happiness. Then comes Prohibition, and Anna's decisions involve her in a gangland feud which threatens her family and friends in a frightening web of intrigue and violence.

In the struggle to resolve her moral dilemma, Anna travels home to England, seeking to redefine the dreams of her youth. During her sad awakening to reality she discovers that the only chains to stand the stresses of time are the links of family and friendship, in which she has been extraordinarily lucky.
