The Cornish Sisters
(2027)(The first book in the Cornish Sisters in Wartime series)
A novel by Betty Walker
A spellbinding, emotional new homefront drama set against the turmoil and heartbreak of World War Two, from Betty Walker, author of the Cornish Girls wartime sagas.
Summer 1940
After their dashing father is killed in the war, the five close-knit Trewin sisters rally around their grieving socialite mother. But soon bombs begin to fall, and they're forced to flee Plymouth for the family farm in rural Cornwall. There, to their horror, they discover that their happy lives have been built on a web of lies and pretence.
Abandoning hopes of an exciting future, the two eldest girls make a pact to stay and support their mother through the trials and hardships to come. Although Eleanor is secretly devastated after a broken engagement, and Beth is more passionate about art and politics than farming, they're determined to prove that love and family are more important than anything the wretched war can throw at them.
But the greatest test of their courage may lie just ahead...
A thrilling and heart-wrenching WWII page-turner, perfect for saga fans of Fenella J Miller, Jean Fullerton, Rosie Clarke, Vicki Beeby and Elaine Everest.
