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.
