1902

Babs and Beth are identical in looks, but very different by nature. Kidnapped by gypsies a decade ago as young girls, Beth has accepted their plight, but Babs has always yearned for their real mother, Tilly, and their beloved hometown of Blackpool.

Convinced the best thing for them is to be reunited with Tilly, Babs tries to persuade Beth to escape. But Beth is too afraid, and Babs knows if she wants to find their mother, she'll have to do it alone.

1914

Babs' life has been blighted by misfortune since the night she walked away from her sister, but at last she found peace and purpose as a nurse. She's never given up hope of finding her family, but now the war is sending her to France, away from them. Or so she believes.

As the Great War rips families apart, is it possible that Babs and Beth will be reunited with each other, and their mother, at last?

The perfect read for fans of Mary Wood, Kitty Neale, Val Wood and Nadine Dorries

Goodreads review by Nicola

Starting a new Maggie Mason book is always a cause for excitement for me. In Blackpool Sisters I was keen to find out what happened to Tilly and her daughters, Babs and Beth, after the end of the first in the trilogy, Blackpool's Angel. Each book can be read as a standalone but it's always best to s......more

Goodreads review by Heather

Well after being blown away with reading Blackpool's Angel I had to go straight onto reading the sequel Blackpool Sisters. This starts in 1902 and Tilly's two daughters Babs and Beth are now thirteen years old and are missing their mother. No spoilers here, but plenty of emotions and great storyline......more
