Anna Jacobs grew up in Lancashire and emigrated to Australia, but still visits the UK regularly to see her family and do research, something she loves. She is addicted to writing and she figures she'll have to live to be 120 at least to tell all the stories that keep popping up in her imagination and nagging her to write them down. She's also addicted to her own hero, to whom she's been happily married for many years.
`Another heart-warming but tense story from Anna...[She] runs us through the gamut of every human emotion in this epic heart-string-puller. The characterisation is superb, the feel for the period is absolutely spot on, and the plot, though a little predictable, is terrific.' Booksmonthly
