Lyn Andrews’ storytelling gift shines through on every page of her Sunday Times bestseller FAR FROM HOME – the perfect read if you enjoy the novels of Kate Thompson and Dilly Court.
As daughter of the blacksmith in her tiny Irish village, sixteen-year-old Kitty Doyle knows little of the ways of the world, but she has to grow up fast when her widowed father re-marries and she has no choice but to leave the family home.
Luckily there’s work to be found over the water in 1920s Liverpool and soon Kitty has a job in a grocer’s, where she also catches the eye of the owner.
With Kitty’s input the business is soon thriving – but tragedy lies ahead, and she must endure many trials and tribulations before she can find true happiness…
