An epic family saga set in South Africa. A spurned lover marries
for money and ignites a family feud of passion and betrayal that
spans three generations. It is New Year's Eve 1924 and Charles
McGill is devastated when the woman he loves announces her
engagement to Lucas Connelly, his friend and co-worker. Charles
drowns his sorrow in drink and seduces Hilde Richter, the daughter
of a wealthy businessman. When Hilde finds she is pregnant her
father offers to set up the penniless Charles with his own bakery
if he will marry her. Charles readily agrees and, unknown to Hilde,
the two men draw up a contract. It is the beginning of a bitter
rivalry between Charles, Lucas Connelly, and Miles Davenport their
former employer. A rivalry that fractures families, tests love and
loyalty, and comes at a cost that Charles could never have
imagined. The Breadwinners covers six decades and leads us through
the successes and failures of the three families as they survive
the great depression, the war years and the isolation of South
Africa.
