Reviews / Votes
Praise for The Girl From World's End and The War Widows:'A beautiful, almost poetically-written tale of love and tragedy in the Yorkshire Dales mainly set during the Second World War. The characters are real flesh and blood and the reader shares their ups and downs with genuine empathy.'
Maureen Lee, bestselling author of Mother of Pearl.
'An epic tale of hardship and tragedy straddling the Second World War.'
