Overview

The Cambridge Fens, 1938. Little Rosanna is part of a close-knit Fenland family and the youngest of three cousins. In a time of childhood abandon and adventures on the water, life couldn't be more perfect. But things are not always as they seem. When Rosanna's new baby brother is born, tragedy strikes the family. And, with the outbreak of World War II just around the corner, and a move to the Norfolk countryside, Rosanna's life is changed forever. And, as she and the family grow together, she realises that to find happiness, we sometimes have to break away from the things we know.

Author Information

I write family sagas, latterly for Robert Hale. There are always children in my books because we brought up nine children in our Knee Deep in Plums days, and they are my inspiration! Now, we have twenty-three grandchildren too. My stories are mainly about rural life at the turn of the last century, covering the first world war and the 1920's. I also write about WW2 and London then, and during the late Victorian era. I am a tender writer, shall I say, and I laugh and cry with my characters as they cope with life. I never know the ending of my stories until I reach that point - and then suddenly it is there. I joined the RNA in 1996 and enjoy the enthusiasm and encouragement of my fellow writers. I write memoirs too. My books are all on Amazon. I can be contacted through Hale and would be pleased to hear from readers.
