WILL SHE FIND THE SECURITY AND AFFECTION SHE'S BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL HER LIFE?

Abbie Martin has grown up in squalor in one of Liverpool's most deprived areas. The youngest of three, she longs to be loved by her mother, but Ellen spends all her time with her eldest son, while Abbie and her brother, Sam, take refuge with their neighbours, Sandra Lewis and Peter Ryan.

Although vibrant and attractive, Abbie pushes people away with her constant need for reassurance. Infatuated with Peter, she longs for the day when he tells her that he loves her. And Sam is courting Sandra. But Peter and Sandra have a secret - one that could destroy the friends' relationship should it become known.

Will Abbie finally find what she most desires, or will she always be looking for love...?

Reviews

THE SEVENTH CLIFFEHAVEN NOVEL BY SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR ELLIE DEAN

May 1942. War can bring hope as well s heart ache . . . Kitty Pargeter loves the life she’s leading as a talented young pilot, serving her country. But tragedy strikes when she is forced to crash-land and is badly injured.

—— from the publisher's description

What elevates Kristian above the many pretenders to Cornwell's crown is the style and swagger of the prose. He is a modern skald, borrowing the old rhythms to create a brutal, absorbing tale

—— Antonia Senior , THE TIMES 'Books of the Year'

Unrelenting pace, brilliant action and characters. A masterwork.

—— CONN IGGULDEN

A glorious, bloody, perfect Viking saga, rich with the poetry of the skald, ripe with blood and glory, vengeance and heartbreak. The characters stride from the page, alive, hungry, real . . . this is Viking writing at its very best

—— MANDA SCOTT

This is the best kind of storytelling – a saga full of blood and thunder that grabs you and doesn’t let go until long after the final page is turned

—— STEVEN PRESSFIELD

A pulse-pounding tale of blood, betrayal and honour. Hereward and his spear-brothers would definitely feel at home here

—— JAMES WILDE

A great success . . . His knowledge of the period, and imaginative immersion in it, mean that God of Vengeance conjures up Sigurd's bloody, violent world, with all its alien beliefs and strange customs, in vivid and compelling detail

—— Nick Rennison , BBC HISTORY

Epic in character, atmosphere and deed . . . Kristian is a terrific storyteller . . . the writing and language are wonderfully rich, and you want to savour every bone-shattering, blood-curdling, sentence

—— TOBY CLEMENTS

A revenger's tale writ large . . . Kristian's latest Viking-era saga won't disappoint

—— DAILY MAIL

A pulsating saga delivered with the sweep and power of a Norse war axe

—— TIM SEVERIN

I loved this. It’s for people who like their historical fiction high-octane . . .a superb, brutal story that pulls no punches

—— ROBERT FABBRI

Glorious . . . one of the finest historical novels of the year

—— FOR WINTER NIGHTS

Brilliant prose, vivid descriptions and compelling characters . . . a must read. If you are a fan of the series, The Vikings, then this book is for you

—— HISTORICAL NOVEL REVIEW

Compelling, affecting, intelligent and surprising… Bold and striking… Worked out with precision and gracefulness… Ambitious and eloquent, and in forgoing exoticism captures genuine humanity

—— Stuart Kelly , Scotland on Sunday

The Lives of Others is searing, savage and deeply moving: an unforgettably vivid picture of a time of turmoil.

—— Amitav Ghosh (www.amitavghosh.com/blog)

The writing’s assured, considered and lucid, the author’s observations of character wry and acute. He has a real talent for revealing people’s true intentions and why they act the way they do

—— Jessica Croome , Curious Animal Magazine

Mukherjee creates a believable world where the jealousies and rivalries of one family are representative of the country

—— Good Book Guide

Memorably vivid and moving

—— Christie Hickman , Sunday Express

A powerful generational story of the chasm between the haves and have-nots

—— Independent
