Book Description
Beginning in the early 1960's, TRIO is the story of three young unmarried Catholic women forced to give up their babies for adoption. Megan, lively and in love with sweetheart Brendan; Caroline, a shy nature-loving girl who fell pregnant on her first date; and secretary Joan whose boss has no intentions of divorcing his wife. The three meet up in St Ann's home for Unmarried Mothers and become close as they share the difficult wait for the birth - and the loss – of their babies. Three hopeful mothers-to-be, approved by the Adoption Society, also wait for news from St Ann's that a child is available. Kay and Marjorie who have each been trying for a family for years without success; and Lillian, who after three miscarriages has been warned that further pregnancies will seriously endanger her health. The three little girls are born, relinquished and placed with their adoptive families. TRIO follows the lives of these mothers and daughters over the ensuing years.!
TRIO explores the relationships of the adoption triangle with honesty, flair and compassion. At a time when society's understanding of the meaning of the family and family ties is undergoing radical change, and when new legislation will allow birth relatives access to support in tracing the children they relinquished, this topical book explores the issues of identity, blood relations, love and loss. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Trio - A brilliant book that is un put downable,
By
This review is from: Trio (Paperback)
I read this book over two days and couldn't put it down. It is a lovely read although moving at times and made me cry at the end. In a way it is like 3 stories as you move between the different families yet all the main stories begin and end together. Any book set in Manchester has extra relevance for me and that is one of the things I enjoy about Cath Staincliffe's book. Even when I finished the book I still keep thinking about the stories which feel very real. I would highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
thoughtful novel about adoption,
By A Customer
This review is from: Trio (Paperback)
This is a deep and feeling novel of three daughters born to mothers who where unable to keep them in a society different from today (early sixties). The stories of the three girls and both set of natural mothers and families are interesting and easy to follow. It covers a range of issues of having children and the effects of relationships of all involved. A very good human interest read. Would recommend.
