Out of the Ashes

The widowed matriarch of a proud Jewish family struggles to maintain stability as they weather many storms in this stirring saga.

As Marianne strives to balance the demands of her career against the need to hold her family together, it is memories of her grandmother, Sarah, that fill her mind. Marianne is determined to maintain the loyalty and values that she fears the younger generation have lost, but this is no easy task.

As tragedy befalls her actor nephew, the havoc wreaked by a disturbed child and her son's marriage erodes, it's the far-reaching consequences of one of the family's marrying a German girl that causes most ripples. Marianne's own life takes an unexpected turn when she meets a man whose love threatens everything she has fought to save.

The fourth book in the much-loved Almonds and Raisins series from international bestselling author Maisie Mosco, perfect for fans of Emma Hornby and Sheelagh Kelly.
