Description

A gorgeous story of family love through generations – perfect for fans of Hannah Gold and Katya BalenA GORGEOUS STORY OF FAMILY LOVE THROUGH GENERATIONS Evan hates change, which is a big problem because the last few years have brought a lot of it. His family is split down the middle, and lately Grandad hasn’t been himself. But Evan can always depend on best friend Okie Dokie, his lovable dog.When a school trip takes Evan to an old mine where Grandad used to work, things go disastrously wrong. Grandad refuses to talk to Evan about the mine, and especially about the poor pit ponies that worked down there in the dark.But Evan is desperate to know more about Grandad’s past and if he can only find out what Grandad’s hiding, the weird gulf between them will surely disappear. Can Evan uncover Grandad’s secrets before they are lost forever?

House of Books & Friends is thrilled to welcome Carolyn O’Brien on Thursday 14th of May from 6pm to discuss their new book, ‘Rose and Renzo‘. The evening will involve a discussion, a Q&A, and a chance to get your book signed by Carolyn. 

About the book
After the death of their father, two sisters arrive in Manchester’s vibrant ‘Little Italy’: creative misfit, Rose, and her much older sister, Ivy. Frustrated and desperate to pursue her artistic passion, Rose meets Renzo, a painter arrived from Europe. Their connection is instant and powerful. Yet as their feelings deepen, Renzo’s past in Mussolini’s Italy remains a mystery. In a time of looming fascism in Europe, Blackshirts are marching the streets. Rose is drawn to fight this, but what about Renzo?
