About the book

In working-class Leeds of 1914, sisters Julia and Margaret Wood are struggling to rise above devasting poverty. War seems inevitable and their German-Jewish father's search for work proves hopeless. It is self-educated, entrepreneurial Julia who keeps the family afloat by hawking homemade pies, while Margaret, an apprentice milliner and new member of the suffragette set, pins her hopes on a rich suffragette, Mrs Turner, and her journalist son, Tom. As war rages, Julia discovers for herself the meaning of courage, and looks forward to that fresh, magical, start - somewhere behind the morning.
