1939

War has returned to Blackpool, and Martha and Trisha, along with their now-growth daughters Bonnie and Sally, are determined to do their bit. Vivacious, glamourous Sally is making her mark as a prima ballerina while gentle, studious Bonnie trains to become a doctor. When both their futures are thrown into disarray with the announcement of war, they cling together to find meaning and happiness even as their beloved brothers are sent off to fight.

While they help with the charming evacuees taken in by their mothers, they pray that their friendship and Martha's gift of foresight will be enough to see them through their toughest years yet. But when tragedy strikes and Martha is overcome with visions of their daughters' lifelong friendship being torn apart, the tight-knit family must pull together to ensure a happy ending for all...

The third in The Fortune Tellers series from Maggie Mason, much-loved author of The Halfpenny Girls. A heart-warming family saga about overcoming hardship and the value of friendship. Perfect for fans of Val Wood, Kitty Neale and Rosie Goodwin.
