Author Bio

A former journalist, Anna Cliffe lives in East Kent close to the sea. The clear sight of France across the English Channel often makes her wonder what it must have been like for the wives and daughters and sisters left behind when their menfolk went to fight the Great War; being able to see where their loved ones actually were must have been very strange. The Flour Mill Girls trilogy is a love letter to those women.
