Reading Group giveaway: The Kelly Sisters by Maureen Lee

Sunday Times bestseller Maureen Lee returns with this heart-warming tale of three sisters striking out in the roaring twenties.

It’s 1925 and Patricia, Tara and Aideen couldn’t be more excited about leaving Dublin with their father and heading for a new life in Liverpool. Yet it soon becomes clear that all is not as it seems, for the day after they arrive in England, Danny hastily sweeps the girls onto a huge ocean liner heading to New York, leaving no forwarding address.

When their father vanishes mid-way across the Atlantic, the grieving sisters prepare themselves for a new life in the big city, far from home, friends and family. For whatever their father was running from has every chance of catching up with the girls, unless they can do their best to build new lives in New York . . .

**We have five sets of 10 copies to offer to reading groups and book clubs in the North West, particularly the Liverpool area.

We’re looking for groups who love powerful family sagas – all we ask in return is that members will review the book on Twitter using the Twitter handle @OrionBooks and the hashtag #TheKellySisters – or let us know what you thought via email.

In your request email, please tell us a bit about why you are interested in this book. **
