Recensioner i media

A Winter Hope is a heartwarming novel following two sisters from pre-war to post-war, their parallel stories filled with love and loss. I found myself completely wrapped up with their experiences and shed a tear at the twists and turns of their lives. A lovely tale of one family by an accomplished novelist at the top of her game.
