Description

Expertly crafted and beautifully sensitive, with themes of family and political conflict, and pure but forbidden love, this book will stay with readers for a long time.

Divided by plague, divided by war, divided by love - what will reunite two sisters?

Yorkshire,1643. Civil war divides the country.

Jane mourns the departure of her last boy who goes off to fight for the king. She must find a new way to endure, facing family secrets and her own buried grief.

Isabel is spurred into action, finding herself drawn into the rebel resistance - with unexpected consequences that might mean disaster for her sister Jane.

Kit is left desperate and starving, taking on the identity of a murdered brother. Life in the king's army brings friendship and new hope, and even love at the most perilous moment of all. As these three lives intertwine, each of them will be altered forever.

Praise for When We Were Divided: "Richly compelling" Stacey Halls, author of The Familiars "Powerful storytelling that keeps those pages turning, turning and turning. I read it in a day, swept away by the drama of this story of divided sisters, mother love and a community at war with itself." Annie Garthwaite, author of Cecily and The King's Mother "Tender and fierce ... a brilliant, elegantly written novel." Joanne Burn, author of The Hemlock Cure & The Bone Hunters
