Between Two Worlds
Published by Canelo
A young girl is drawn to her dramatic family heritage in the first Alison Plantaine saga from the author of Almonds and Raisins.
Alison Plantaine was born to the theatre. As a child the life she knew was one of backstage dramas and highly-charged emotions. The desire to perform is in her Plantaine blood. But when Alison learns about her secret heritage it makes her question the path she has chosen.
Meanwhile, tastes are changing and the family passion for acting is losing touch with trends. A war is breaking out and Alison senses change in the air. Her mother is a gifted actress and wants her daughter to follow in her footsteps. Her father, shrewd and practical, understands that his daughter’s respect for family tradition must not stifle her talent and the promise of success. But the decision must be Alison’s and she becomes torn between duty and heritage, or the life she always dreamed of on the stage.
A vivid and emotional family saga from a much-loved author, perfect for fans of Rita Bradshaw and Margaret Dickinson.
Praise for the writing of Maisie Mosco
