خطوة إلى عالم لا حدود له من القصص

الاستماع والقراءة

Elizabeth Murphy

It might take growing up to become a daddy’s girl. A deeply moving family saga based in twentieth-century Liverpool from the author of A Nest of Singing Birds.
 
 From a young age Laura Redmond resents the way her father speaks to her mother. She does not understand that despite his heated outbursts, John Redmond is a loyal and devoted husband.
 
 As Laura grows up, her protective love for her mother, Anne, leads to a love/hate relationship between father and daughter. Many think this is because they are so alike—both uncompromising and determined. Only Laura’s great-grandmother recognizes the truth.
 
 It takes many years filled with triumph and tragedy for the family, and the arrival of a special man in Laura’s life, before she can properly grasp the true nature of her father.

The Redmond Family Duology

Honour Thy Father

War challenges a young woman’s dreams of a happy home in this heartbreaking historical saga of love, sacrifice, and family.

 Anne is the youngest of the eight Fitzgerald children, secure amid her extended family in Liverpool’s Everton district. 

 She leaves school at fourteen to work, where she becomes friendly with Sarah Redmond. The two girls enjoy life to the full, dating young men in a lighthearted way, and it is Sarah who introduces Anne to her brother, John. 

 From there, marriage and children follow, but when war breaks out, John enlists, along with Anne’s brothers. Combat creates a barrier to Anne’s happiness, and so she must wait, not only to discover if she and John can rekindle their passions, but more importantly to see if her loved ones will return home safely . . . 

Perfect for fans of Katie Flynn, Helen Forrester, and Lyn Andrews.
