Mourning Doves

A heart-warming story of family relationships and a nation changed forever by the Great War.

When her husband dies suddenly, Louise Gilmore and her two daughters are left with nothing.

Forced to move from their fine Liverpool home to a run-down cottage in Hoylake, the three women must learn to make their way in a new and unfamiliar world.

Persevering through fear, uncertainty, and despair, they find unexpected opportunities. Can hope and love survive through grief and loss?

Timeless family drama from the best-selling author of Tuppence to Cross the Mersey. With over 3 million copies sold around the world, Helen Forrester’s hard-hitting and gripping fiction set in post-war Liverpool continues to move readers.
