In Love and Friendship

Newcastle, 1890. A school outing to Cullercoats Bay almost ends in tragedy when two girls are cut off by the incoming tide. But from the panic and confusion something wonderful emerges - a lifelong friendship between three girls; Ruth, Lucy and Esther. Each is a world apart from the other two, but together they form a strong and unbreakable bond that will see them through the years ahead, when the happy, carefree days of childhood are nothing but a distant memory...

“'This is a delightful, carefully interwoven story of passion, love, loss and the power of friendship - a rollercoaster ride of emotions' Sunderland Echo”

'Bursting with the flavour of the period... Breathe in deeply and you could almost be there' Northern Echo - Northern Echo
