Sussex Crime Omnibus 2
(2023)(A book in the Sussex Crime series)
An omnibus of novels by Isabella Muir
These three previously published novellas explore life during World War Two for many of the characters in Isabella Muir’s popular Sussex Crime series.
BOOK 1
WAITING FOR SUNSHINE
A child's world is turned upside down...
Libby Frobisher is only three years old when she first meets her father.
He brings fun and laughter into the Frobisher household, but over the next few years his visits are so infrequent it is like waiting for Christmas to come around. Libby has so many questions about her dad, but her mum and gran seem reluctant to provide any answers. When Libby discovers the truth, it feels like her whole world is turned upside down as she learns that life is far more complex than she could have ever imagined.
BOOK 2
THE HARVEST
A story of self-discovery...
'It was a painting that set me off on a journey that summer when I’d just turned sixteen. A time in my life that represents the divide between one Zara and another. All the events that summer led to a division of sorts, while at the same time resulting in a coming together I could never have expected.'
Zara Carpenter has reached her sixteenth year. It's summer, she's keen to explore the world around her. But when she meets Nicholas O'Neill she begins to doubt what her family expect of her. A secret liaison is exciting, but how will Zara be judged by her parents. This poignant coming of age story is a reminder that when we fear the judgement of others we often forget that it is our own judgements that can colour our view of the world.
BOOK 3
NEVER ENOUGH
Wartime fears and dreads for coastal Britain...
September 1939. Thousands of children are leaving the city and their families behind, heading for the coast and countryside with the launch of Operation Pied Piper.
In Tamarisk Bay the Chandler family are preparing for war and all the changes it will bring. Taking in a young evacuee is bound to bring challenges, but within days it is clear there are unexpected obstacles to overcome. Divisions appear in the family and when a crime is committed, doubts creep in, with accusations leading to questions that prove difficult to answer.
Pick up this second omnibus of the Sussex Crime novellas, which provide a snapshot into family life during the decades that were so tough for so many.
Genre: Historical
