It might take growing up to become a daddyâs girl. A deeply moving family saga based in twentieth-century Liverpool from the author of A Nest of Singing Birds.  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 alikeâboth uncompromising and determined. Only Lauraâs great-grandmother recognizes the truth.  It takes many years filled with triumph and tragedy for the family, and the arrival of a special man in Lauraâs life, before she can properly grasp the true nature of her father.  Praise for the novels of Elizabeth Murphy  âA family saga you just wonât be able to put down.â âPrima  âRich in authentic period details . . A time machine back to the past. This is how history should be written!â âTerrace Review  âHard to beat . . . A gripping family saga.â âManchester Evening News
