All My Sisters

Marianne, Iris, Eva and Clemency are the daughters of Sheffield steel manufacturer, Joshua Maclise, and his invalid wife, Lilian. In the tumultuous years before the First World War, each sister seeks to carve out a future for herself.

The reserved and passionate Marianne falls in love with wealthy businessman, Arthur Leighton. Beautiful, vain Iris assumes she will make a good marriage, but when her dreams come to nothing, she trains as a nurse. Vivacious Eva longs to escape her home town and become an artist. Only Clemency, the youngest sister, finds herself trapped at home, caring for her mother.

Tragedy and war tear all four sisters’ lives apart. Marianne leaves England for a tea estate in Ceylon, where, cut off from her family and at the mercy of the cruel, ruthless Lucas Melrose, she is forced to fight for her sanity and her life. Nursing British soldiers in France, Iris discovers both love and loss. After her heart is broken by the Bohemian artist, Gabriel Bellamy, Eva finds new direction in an unexpected place. War releases Clemency from the tyranny of her mother and allows her to find love at last. Only time will tell whether the four sisters will be reunited…
