About the author
Maisie Mosco
20 books19 followersMaisie Mosco was born as Maisie Gottlieb. Her parents were of Latvian Jewish and Viennese Jewish descent, and both emigrated to England around 1900.
She left school at the age of 14 to help in the family business. At the age of 18 she joined the ATS and at the end of World War II was helping to teach illiterate soldiers how to read. After the war, she edited the Jewish Gazette, and subsequently wrote radio plays for the BBC.
Mosco wrote 16 novels between 1979 and 1998. These included the 'Almonds and Raisins' series, which contained elements of her own family history.
She married twice: to Aubrey Liston in 1948, then to Gerald Mosco in 1957.

An excellent book - very different to her Almonds and raisins series. Not going to give anything away, but it had a surprising end!!! I wish she hd written a sequel because I want to know what happened next.....
