‘I couldn’t be happier to bring Amanda to Bookouture. The first book in this absolutely stunning series captured my heart instantly. Exploring themes of sisterly love, family ties, grief and the ability to begin again, this series encapsulates all of the heart and emotion we have come to expect from Amanda’s novels whilst bringing exceptionally evocative historical settings to the fore in a multi-generational family saga.’

Amanda said,

‘I am beyond excited to see the Wren sister’s stories come to life under the magical editorial touch of the Bookouture team. My thanks to Viola and Ciara at Curtis Brown who found the perfect home for these novels. I am so happy to become part of the Bookouture family and can’t wait to share these intricate tales of young women bound by circumstance, separated by force, who live without wealth or status, before discovering their power in a brave new world!’

Ciara Finan, on behalf of Hayden said,

‘It is such a delight to work with the wonderful Amanda Prowse during Viola’s maternity leave – her talent and passion are second to none. The series is so full of heart, with characters that will stay with their readers long after the last page. We are so excited to be working with Laura and the brilliant Bookouture team and can’t wait for them to help bring this masterclass in historical saga to life!’
