'One of the greatest novels ever written' Philippe Sands Set
against the doomed splendour of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, The
Radetzky March tells the story of the celebrated Trotta family,
tracing their rise and fall over three generations. Theirs is a
sweeping history of heroism and duty, desire and compromise,
tragedy and heartbreak, a story that lasts until the darkening eve
of World War One, when all is set to fall apart. Rich, epic and
profoundly moving, The Radetzky March is Joseph Roth's timeless
masterpiece.

BRISTOL 1943 and life for the Tobacco Girls isn't getting any
easier...Bridget Milligan has donned a uniform and joined the
nursing services where she becomes intrigued with the miracles of
modern medicine. She's also torn between family loyalty, her new
career and Lyndon O'Neill, the love of her life. Is it too
impossible to hope that everything will come out right in the end?
Phyllis Harvey is still serving in Malta where she sees the
casualties of war first hand. Finally it seems like Phyllis is
blessed with true in love, but fate can sometimes be a rocky road
and nothing is that certain. Maisie Miles is left holding the home
front at the tobacco factory but with the sudden death of her
grandmother finds herself once more alone in the world. However,
thanks to a substantial inheritance, she is able to extend a
helping hand to a friend in desperate need. There are tears and
laughter, goodbyes and new arrivals along with the hope that new
beginnings are not far over the horizon. Praise for Lizzie Lane: 'A
gripping saga and a storyline that will keep you hooked' Rosie
Goodwin 'The Tobacco Girls is another heartwarming tale of love and
friendship and a must-read for all saga fans.' Jean Fullerton
'Lizzie Lane opens the door to a past of factory girls, redolent
with life-affirming friendship, drama, and choices that are as
relevant today as they were then.' Catrin Collier 'If you want an
exciting, authentic historical saga then look no further than
Lizzie Lane.' Fenella J Miller
