Overview
This Mary Wood 6 Books Collection Set brings together six powerful family sagas from one of Britain's compelling voices in historical fiction. Spanning both World Wars and working-class Britain, these paperback novels follow courageous women facing love, loss, war and survival. Perfect for saga fans who enjoy Catherine Cookson or Dilly Court, this brand-new set is an ideal treat for yourself or a thoughtful gift for any reader who loves gritty, heart-tugging historical drama rooted in hardship and resilience.
About the Books
Each novel stands as a moving, self-contained saga, showcasing the breadth of Mary Wood's storytelling. The Abandoned Daughter follows nurse Ella, haunted by war on the battlefields of Dieppe and by a betrayal closer to home. Tomorrow Brings Sorrow centres on Megan and husband Jack, whose stability is threatened by the looming release of her troubled son Billy from an asylum. All I Have to Give tells of Edith Mellor, one of Britain's few female surgeons in 1916, drawn to the horrors of the Somme. Proud of You follows Alice, an upper-class Londoner recruited into the Special Operations Executive, whose mission to occupied Paris brings her into contact with Gertrude, a former prostitute working for the Resistance. In Their Mother's Footsteps delivers another hard-hitting, poignant page-turner in Wood's signature style. Finally, The Street Orphans introduces Ruth, born with a club foot in a remote Pennine village, feared by superstitious neighbours and forced to rebuild her life in the Blackburn cotton mills after tragedy strikes her family. Together, these six novels offer hours of immersive, emotionally rich storytelling steeped in historical detail and resilience.
