Review
'This wonderfully written book takes you through Liza's tales of struggle, unhappiness, happiness, laughter and again sadness... I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and was very upset when it came to the end. I am very much looking forward to Lancashire Legacy' (amazon.co.uk reader from Wales on Lancashire Lass )

Product Description
Eva Kershaw thought she would never marry, and is happy living a quiet life with her dear friend Alice. But Alice is ill, and her nephew has thrust himself into their household. Alice's dearest wish is that Eva should not make the same mistakes she did, and she alters her will so that Eva and Gus are strongly compelled to marry. Eva obliges to fulfil her dead friend's wishes. But Gus is not all he seems to be: he is not Alice's kind nephew, but a robber, confidence trickster, and not even Gus Blake. And Eva is in terrible danger...
From the Author
I loved writing the story of the third Kershaw sister, and Eva's tale seemed to write itself. I began writing it in Australia and finished in England. It's the only one of my books where I've been able to deliver the manuscript to my agent in person!
The book also continues to use my interest in what it must have been like settling down again after WW1. And I found it fascinating to research telephone boxes and early garages. Well, I wouldn't be writing historical tales if I didn't enjoy the research.
When my editor and I were talking about this book, she sighed and said it was a pity I'd only done three Kershaw sisters. Which started my thinking: what if there were another Kershaw sister, an illegitimate one, who doesn't even know she's a Kershaw? So if you thought this was the last in the series, you're wrong. Lizzie, Polly and Eva will be joined by OUR MARY ANN next year.

About the Author
Anna Jacobs grew up in Lancashire and emigrated to Australia in 1973, but loves to return to England regularly to visit her family and soak up the history.
