Question about Emma's Husbands (Spoilers)
Near the beginning of the story, I recall Paula saying to her Grandmother, Emma 'But you've had several yourself, Grandy' in regard to husbands.
Emma replied 'Yes, but they didn't get younger as I got older!'.
In fact Emma Harte only had two husbands right?
Edwin did not stand by her, she turned down Blackie's offer of marriage in the cinema and she also turned down David because of his Jewish religion causing complications with his family.
She married Joe Lowther out of necessity and to feel safe after Gerald Fairley assaulted her in the shop. After his death she met Paul McGill but couldn't marry him because his Catholic wife back in Australia refused to grant him a divorce. So she married Mr. Ainsley, her accountant.
She divorced him and picked up with paul again four years later. They had a child, Daisy together but never married.
I don't think she married again after that. So unless the book differs from the series, she did in fact only have two husbands.
