More About the Author
Hi,I am Lilian Harry and am delighted to welcome you to my Author Central page. I've been writing for a long time now, under the name Donna Baker as well as Lilian Harry, and most of my books are classed as 'historical novels', including those set during the Second World War (which is slightly hurtful, since I remember it....) I grew up near Portsmouth in Hampshire, have lived in Devon, Herefordshire and the Lake District (my favourite place!) and am now back in Devon on the edge of Dartmoor, where I am out every day walking my miniature schnauzer. Apart from writing, I ring bells, take part in amateur dramatics, go to concerts, theatre etc, read and play bridge - but only with very tolerant, forgiving people who like me a lot. (Or on the computer!) I would like to be cloned so that I can do all these things simultaneously.

Another Great Book by Ms. Harry,
By
This review is from: Goodbye Sweetheart (Mass Market Paperback)
"Goodbye Sweetheart" by Lilian Harry is the first book in her Portsmouth series. Ms. Harry tell the story of the working-class families of April Grove in the beginning of World War 2. As always, Ms. Harry tell a great story about war and the effects that it has a on the family. This a great book that should not be missed by any fan of Ms. Harry or fans of this era.
