Anna Jacobs has spent decades writing about women who refuse the life assigned to them. These three novels draw from three of her series, spanning the late Victorian era to the First World War, but the women at their centre share the same instinct: when the life they've been given becomes impossible, they find another one. Lizzie Kershaw, Elinor Pendleton and Bella are worlds apart in time and circumstance, and each would recognise the others at once.
Anna Jacobs, Our Lizzie - Lizzie Kershaw dreams of a better life, but the world has other plans. A story of resilience, family loyalty, and quiet courage.
Anna Jacobs, Silver Wishes - Elinor Pendleton flees a man determined to own her and finds, beside Jubilee Lake, a community she had never thought to ask for.
Anna Jacobs, A Stranger in Honeyfield - Left alone and pregnant after Philip is killed, Bella discovers an unexpected ally in Tez and an unexpected home in Honeyfield.
