Margaret Kaine recommends

The Paper Mill Girl (2020)
Glenda Young
"I found it difficult to believe that this was a debut novel, as "brilliant" was the word in my mind when I reached the end. I enjoyed it enormously, being totally absorbed from the first page. I found it extremely well written, and having always loved sagas, one of the best I've read."

The Bobby Girls (2019)
(Bobby Girls, book 1)
Johanna Bell
"Written with warmth and compassion, the novel gives fascinating insights into the lives of three courageous young women."
