Okay, posting for traffic, sorry, but somebody on here HAS to have read it.
Mum lent it to me years and years ago before it got tossed in the charity pile or shipped off to a friend to read who never gave it back 
all I remember really was:
It was called something like Fields of Gold (not by Sting) and was about maybe an old cotton/silk mill and a girl who worked in it?
She ended up getting pregnant by some man she was maybe in love with but shouldn't be in love with. It was probably a bit twee but good god I've been trying to remember what it's called for the better part of 8 years.
