Dot & Ben
Pat Backley
A 20th century love story. (Ancestors Book 1)
What do you know about your ancestors? This book, the third in the ANCESTORS series is based on the lives of the authors’ parents.
Dot and Ben were born in the 1920’s, lived and fought in WW2 and their story continues until 2014. What was their day to day life like? Did their love survive?
“Once Hitler is defeated, my proper life will begin. I will travel the world, have adventures, paint and write. My life will be glorious.”
“It was all the rage to have enormous wedding bouquets, Dot guessed it was a reaction to the austere war years, as well as everyone trying to copy the magnificent bouquet Princess Elizabeth had carried on her wedding day.”
The Ancestors series are gentle family sagas, based in London, from the early 1800s through to the late 1980’s. Although fiction, they are based on the authors own ancestors-ordinary people who lived through extraordinary times.
Where to buy
Paperback copies available from Wheelers, IngramSpark, Amazon, or on consignment directly from the authors website.
