Her only social activity is tea with the O'Neill family, who secretly dread her weekly visits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJudith soon meets wealthy James Madden and fantasises about marrying this lively, debonair man. But Madden sees her in an entirely different light, as a potential investor in a business proposal. On realising that her feelings are not reciprocated, she turns to an old addiction – alcohol.

She wonders what place there is for her in a world that so values family ties and faith, both of which she is without.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brian Moore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46895349268629,"sku":"9780007255610","price":22.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780007255610_4cd73212-1b5e-4a19-ab79-bb6cfde6a12a.jpg?v=1776888133","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780007255610_the-lonely-passion-of-judith-hearne","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
