Titel: The Potteries Girls4-A New Day at Paradise Pottery
Auteur: Lynn Johnson
ISBN: 9781804360408
Conditie: Als nieuw

In the darkness of the Great War, can she create a brighter future? Martha Owen has not had an easy start in life. Her abusive father dominates the family and she has lost her only friend after a painful falling-out. Her father’s reliance on the bottle, and his increasingly violent temper, brings turmoil for Martha, her mother and her three siblings and with World War One causing more strain on the home front, her prospects look bleak. With no money or qualifications to speak of, starting a job at the Potteries feels like a lifeline, but Martha finds herself wanting more than the production line job she works on. Her one talent is her artistic flair, but will this be enough to help her rise the ranks at Paradise Pottery and make a future for herself? And can she ever escape her father’s dark shadow over her? An uplifting and moving saga from the author of the bestselling Wartime with the Tram Girls. Fans of Nancy Revell and Rosie Hendry will be captivated.
