I think Rebekah thought she was pregnant, but turned out that she wasn't in the end. Wroe was definitely having it away with Martha. She described it herself when he came and took her in the ditch. I think she said later on that even what she had to do with him was preferable to having to go home again. Martha was a most interesting character all together. The saddest one of the lot for me. The terrible life she had before joining the group was heart wrenching. I had also expected a more dramatic end with Wroe being exposed for what he was, but with it being a real life story, the church were always going to cover it up. I'm surprised that he saved up money whilst in Australia to build another church in England. I would have thought that once he moved out there he would have stayed and not wanted to think about what had gone on in Lancashire. I have a new appreciation for my washing machine after reading that book. Who would want to have to go through all that once a month to get the clothes and sheets clean.
