Beschrijving boek
Growing up in Leeds in the aftermath of the Great War, Jess is torn between her hen-pecked father and her cantankerous, ambitious mother. Although she submits to her mother’s strict Catholic upbringing she finds an escape in creating fairy-tales - with her childhood soulmate, Wilf, providing the illustrations. As Jess and Wilf grow up, their love grows with them and life seems settled.
But it is only when Jess finds it in her generous heart to take a momentous step that her path is truly set, allowing her to move into a future that is both painful and enchanted in equal measure. When she rescues her beloved goddaughter from a bleak orphanage she risks sacrificing everything she loves … possibly even Wilf.
A story of courage, loyalty and enduring love which proves that every life is magical.
