Comfort Me With Apples

Two sisters search for love while dealing with an overbearing father in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Liverpool in this touching historical saga.

It’s the dawn of the twentieth century, but Anna and Dorrie Furlong, young daughters of a Liverpudlian ship captain with archaic ideals, are expected to remain at home in Everton until they are wedded.

Dorrie, beautiful and popular, with multiple admirers, is content to do this, but idealistic, intelligent Anna hates her narrow life and longs for freedom and independence.

As both sisters struggle against their situations, love will find them as if by accident, and after much hardship and sadness, they will both begin to realize where true happiness lies . . .

Perfect for fans of Katie Flynn, Helen Forrester, and Lyn Andrews.

Elizabeth Murphy was an author of Liverpool family sagas, praised for their heartwarming portrayal of early 20th century Liverpool and their ‘good old-fashioned Northern common sense’. She was born in Liverpool and lived in Merseyside all of her life. When she was twelve, her father gave her a sixpenny book from a secondhand book stall, Liverpool Table Talk One Hundred Years Ago, which led to her lifelong interest in Liverpool’s history. Her stories follow young women from working class families overcoming hardship and finding happiness in the face of adversity. She passed away in 2002.
