Synopsis

The Sunday Times Bestseller and #1 international bestseller

'A moving and bittersweet story' Sun

Keeping My Sister’s Secrets by Beezy Marsh is the heartwarming true story of three sisters and their fearless fight to survive the hardships of poverty and war - by whatever means necessary.

Born into a close-knit working class family in the slums of London’s Waterloo, Eva, Peggy and Kathleen are three remarkably different, but very loving sisters. Desperate to escape their violent father, they find different ways to survive.

Beautiful Kathleen escapes into marriage with an abusive man, and during the horrors of the Second World War, falls in love again - this time with an American GI. Peggy, serious and studious, is appalled by conditions in the factories and becomes a communist, desperate to help her fellow workers. The rebellious sister, Eva, will do anything to protect her family - even if it means breaking the law to put dinner on the table.

Living closely together, the sisters support each other through thick and thin - their story is a moving tale of unconditional love, the one constant in a changing world.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Beezy Marsh is an international #1 and Sunday Times Top Ten bestselling author who puts family and relationships at the heart of her writing. She is also an award-winning investigative journalist, who has spent more than twenty years making the headlines in newspapers including Daily Mail, Sunday Times and Sunday Telegraph. She believes that ordinary lives are often the most extraordinary and sisters, mothers and wives are the glue which binds everything together. Her fascination with what makes people tick began as a cub reporter in the North East, where she grew up after her family moved from London.

Her Father's Daughter tells of two families struggling to face up to the secrets which bind them through two world wars. From the bombed-out terraces of London to the grimy docks of Newcastle, Her Father's Daughter is a poignant true story of the unbreakable bonds of family and the power of love to heal the worst wounds.

It follows her international top-ten best seller, All My Mother's Secrets, set in the turbulent interwar years in London, which is the moving true story of a young girl's struggle to face up to her family's tragic past. She is the author of the Sunday Times top ten and #1 international bestseller Keeping My Sister's Secrets and of the biography, Mad Frank and Sons, alongside two sons of gangland boss Frankie Fraser.

Beezy is married, with two young sons, and lives in Oxfordshire with a never-ending pile of laundry. She also writes a LIFE-LOVE-LAUNDRY blog on her website.
