The thrilling new book from Sheila Riley in her Liverpool Saga
series 1916 LIVERPOOL Following the death of her father, Ruby
Swift, and husband Archie finally move back into Ashland Hall. As
the Great War rages, fathers and sons take the King's Shilling and
head off to fight the unknown enemy, not knowing what horrors lie
ahead. With Ned Kincaid in the Navy, Archie signs up to the
volunteer constabulary and nurses Anna Cassidy and Ellie Harrington
enlist to do their bit for King and Country. Soon the true
casualties of war are being brought home in droves, Ruby converts
Ashland Hall into an auxiliary hospital for wounded servicemen.
It's not long before the true cost of war is brought closer to home
and Anna and Ellie enlist in the British Military Nursing Corp and
soon find themselves in the battlefields of France in search of the
truth. But they soon discover more than they bargained for...

saga that is not to be missed. I turned the pages almost faster
than I could read.' Carol Rivers 'A fabulous story of twists and
turns - a totally unputdownable, page turner that had me cheering
on the characters. I loved it!' Rosie Hendry 'A thoroughly
enjoyable, powerful novel' Lyn Andrews 'An enchanting, warm and
deeply touching story' Cathy Sharp 'Vivid, compelling and full of
heart. Sheila is a natural-born storyteller.' Kate Thompson 'This
author knows the Liverpool she writes about; masterly storytelling
from a true Mersey Mistress.' Lizzie Lane

The brand new release from bestselling author Rosie Clarke.
Friendship, tears, laughter and enduring love help the Harpers
girls survive...LONDON 1917 As the Americans enter the War, there
is renewed energy in the war effort. With husbands and sons
fighting for freedom, the women of Harpers are left to tackle the
day-to-day affairs at home and work. With Ben Harper away, Sally
fears she is being followed by a mysterious woman. Who is she and
what does she want? Maggie Gibbs collapses seriously ill in the
frontline hospitals and is brought back to England close to death.
Can she be saved and what does the future hold for her and her
broken heart? Marion Jackson's father is on the run from the Police
already wanted for murder. She fears he will return to threaten his
family once more. And Beth Burrows is pregnant with her second
child, worried and anxious for her husband Jack, who has been many
months at sea. As Christmas 1917 approaches what will the future
hold for Harpers, its girls and their men at War?
Common Cause tells the story of Jeremy Robson, publisher of an
independent newspaper in the fictional Midwestern town of
Fenchester. Fenchester was settled by German immigrants, and
German-Americans dominate the town's economic and social elite.
With the advent of World War I, Robson's pro-American stance and
denunciations of German-American fealty to Germany lead local
plutocrats to withhold advertising from his newspaper in order to
drive him out of business. Ultimately, however, Robson's vision of
an inclusive society prevails. Common Cause provides a nuanced look
at the home-front atmosphere that existed in parts of the United
States before and during the Great War, exploring themes of
patriotism, jingoism, citizenship, and exclusion. An introduction
and explanatory notes by John Maxwell Hamilton and Amy Solomon
Whitehead provide context.
