All three novels in the trilogy gathered together for the first time in a single e-book volume for one fantastic read at an amazing price.
The Threlfalls
In 1948, while Britain is still enduring the aftermath of the War, Charlie Fletcher, a Leeds publican and black marketeer, always seems to have plenty of cash and ration coupons. When he falls in love and marries a young Irish girl, Siobhan, along comes daughter, Susan, who is the apple of her father’s eye.
With an alcoholic mother and an increasingly secretive father, Susan finds solace in her friendship with classmate, Jimmy, and his mother, Pauline, an extended family she quickly learns to rely on through the hardships of life growing up in Leeds during the 1950’s and 60’s.
The Threlfalls follows Susan’s journey to adulthood, her experiences seeing her grow into an independent, wilful but secretive young woman who isn’t afraid of danger.
When tragedy takes the life of someone close to her, Susan is sure there is more to the death than meets the eye, and she sets off down an increasingly dark and dangerous path to uncover the truth.
Dancing Upstairs
Susan has been in Provence at the home of the Fourniers for over a year when Jimmy Hanson brings news of her family in Ireland. Determined to put the past behind her, she travels to Kilmain with Chaz and Jimmy where she befriends an elderly lady who knew her mother well.
She feels safe in the close community and decides to stay on in Ireland, working with her cousin Patrick at the local butcher’s shop.
When Susan decides to visit Leeds for Christmas, she follows the route her mother took as a runaway teenager. Adamant that she wants nothing to do with her father, she struggles to cope with some shocking news.
Turn The Stones
The third and final part of the trilogy that started with ‘The Threlfalls’ and continued with ‘Dancing Upstairs’.
After the tragic fire that killed her father and destroyed ‘The Threlfalls,’ Susan’s life changes dramatically when she falls pregnant. Susan looks forward to being the perfect mother, but with little contact from her friends, she finds herself increasingly isolated.
Dreams of her past haunt her, and nothing turns out quite the way she expected.
