Honour Thy Father — Elizabeth Murphy

A deeply moving saga based in 20th-century Liverpool.

From a young age Laura Redmond resents the way her father speaks to her mother. She does not understand that despite his heated outbursts, John Redmond is a loyal and devoted husband.

As Laura grows up her protective love for her mother, Anne, leads to a love/hate relationship between father and daughter. Many think this is because they are so alike â€" both uncompromising and determined. Only Laura's great-grandmother recognises the truth.

It takes many years filled with triumph and tragedy for the family, and the arrival of a special man in Laura's life, before she can properly grasp the true nature of her father.

An absolute triumph, perfect for fans of Katie Flynn, Helen Forrester and Lyn Andrews.
