What to expect
From AWARD-WINNING author Liz Harris comes the third enthralling novel in the Linford Family Sagas – a story of love, survival, and the bonds that endure through dark times. Perfect for fans of Rosie Goodwin and Dilly Court.💔 💫
Germany, 1930s
When Dorothy Linford defies her father to marry Franz Hartmann, a former German internee, she’s cast out from the Linford family and forced to build a new life in Germany. For a time, happiness thrives – until the 1930s bring fear and suspicion that threaten to tear their world apart.
Across the Channel, Dorothy’s sister Nellie and cousin Louisa face struggles of their own as the Linford family fractures under the weight of old secrets. Separated by distance but bound by love, the sisters must cling to hope – even as the shadow of war darkens their lives forever.
Richly emotional and utterly absorbing, A Sister’s Hope is perfect for fans of Fenella J Miller, Patricia McBride and Rachel Brimble.
Previously published as The Lengthening Shadow.
