The clothes that hung on her frail body were filthy, and she seemed unable to speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen she asked to see the firm's senior partner, Alexander Armstrong, she was at first shown the door - but when Mr Armstrong learned the name of his visitor, all the office staff were amazed at his reaction. For Irene Baindor was a woman with a past, and her emergence from obscurity was to signal the unravelling of a mystery that had baffled the lawyer for twenty-six years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat Irene - the silent lady of the title - had been doing, and where she had been, gradually emerged over the following weeks as Armstrong met the unlikely benefactors who had befriended her and helped her to build a useful and satisfying life in a sheltered environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, at last, she was able to confront her tortured and violent past and find great happiness and contentment with the help of old friends and some newer ones.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catherine Cookson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48788459585705,"sku":"9780552146852","price":7.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/lady_057fcc50-8447-47a1-90db-059b4878d24a.jpg?v=1789788491","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/the-silent-lady","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
