When you lose everything you love, you need a friend...

Nothing ever happens in sleepy Grimbleton. Until two strangers - both claiming to be the fiancee of a dead soldier - arrive in town.
Susan prides herself on her refined 'English' manners - yet her airs and graces hide harrowing memories of her escape from war-torn Burma.
Volatile Ana pines for the sunshine of her Greek village - but is forever haunted by her sister's death at the hands of the Nazis'.
Enemies at first, Su and Ana soon find themselves united in grief at the loss of Freddie Winstanley - the father of both their children.
Freddie's sister Lily takes the women under her wing and soon the circle of friends expands to include Italian Maria, torn between her invalid husband and another man, and uppercrust Diana, whose jolly exterior conceals a secret sorrow.
Supported by this new-found sisterhood, Lily dares to dream of spreading her wings away from her domineering family and spineless fiance.
But each woman's courage is soon sorely tested. Can they help each other to find happiness after the heartache of war?

Industry Reviews

Praise for 'The War Widows' and 'The Girl From World's End'

'An epic tale of hardship and tragedy straddling the Second World War'
The Bookseller

'A captivating journey back to the past'.
Closer Magazine

'a warm and enchanting first novel from a writer with an instinctive feel for the northern landscape'
Lancashire Evening Post

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, author of 'Kitty and her Sisters'
