Idlers Return

Coming soon!

Book 2 of the Idlers series.

Idlers Return, with cover and illustrations by Steve Whitworth

Five years on from the Middleton flood. Maggie, now married to Arnold White, has a little girl, Rosie, now four. Annie and Bert are now married but are finding it’s not all a rose garden – especially when the dearth in Middleton’s cotton industry threatens Bert’s job. And living with the in-laws is not always easy!

What will happen when Danny Beswick turns up on the Middleton scene after chancing his luck in Blackpool for the last five years? Will he go looking for Maggie and his natural daughter?

And what will be the impact on the Clayton and the White families already struggling with their various problems?

Publication in November
