What secret is Valerie's mother guarding? Will it affect her daughter's life and happiness? Andy is forced to sell his home. A mysterious lady arrives at the eleventh hour to make an unusual offer! Could this be his salvation? : From the Author: This is my first novel. : I was advised that the most popular and commercial subjects for novels related to such matters as crime or romance or business or religion, so what do you think? I wrote a novel about all four topics. : The novel starts off in Manchester my home town. The action moves to London and New York and backwards and forwards between the three cities. It is set in the long ago world of just before 9/11. Does that make it a historical novel? The story is about a Jewish family with the surname Fine. The title is ‘Fine Feathers.' The characters are drawn from people I have met and known but usually each one will be an amalgamation of the characteristics of several people. So don't worry-if you know me. IF you are in the book you will be totally unrecognisable.: I know you will enjoy Fine Feathers. I have read it even more times than my editor and it still has the ability to stir, excite and stimulate my emotions. --Ce texte fait r?f?rence ? l'?dition Paperback. : About the Author: Lionel Ross was born in 1935 and lives in Manchester England with his wife Luise.
