The Fortunes Sagas
(2025)(A book in the Fortunes of the Heart series)
An omnibus of novels by Jenny Telfer Chaplin
Three sweeping and emotional historical sagas. A powerful family story of love, hardship and resilience in the late Victorian era.
From the windswept shores of Ireland to the bustling streets of industrial Glasgow, step into the world of Kate Kinnon — an Irish maid whose marriage to a charming but reckless man sets her on a journey of survival against all odds.
These heart-wrenching and richly detailed sagas are perfect for fans of Dilly Court, Rosie Goodwin, Emma Hornby, Sheila Riley, Katie Flynn, or Margaret Dickinson.
MEET KATE
Kate Kinnon has always worked hard to keep her place in service. But when her employer’s wayward son Pearce sweeps her into a hasty marriage, Kate finds herself cast adrift in the bustling, unforgiving streets of industrial Glasgow.
Facing poverty, prejudice, and the constant weight of Pearce’s failings, Kate must fight to raise her children and protect what little happiness she can carve from life. From the heartbreak of infant loss to the solidarity of her Irish neighbours, she discovers an inner strength that even tragedy cannot break.
Spanning decades of love, betrayal, family bonds and sacrifice, The Fortunes Series tells the unforgettable story of one woman’s determination to endure — and a family’s struggle to find its place in a changing world.
