January: Author Alrene Hughes talks about her work
January's meeting saw us joined by local author, Alrene Hughes , who gave a fascinating talk about her Martha's Girls trilogy: Martha's Girls , The Golden Sisters , A Song in My Heart. The series is set in Belfast in World War II and follows the adventures of a group of sisters who perform as a vocal group to entertain the civilians and troops. Needless to say, all three books are now on our 'To Read' lists. Alrene also read an excerpt from the book she is currently working on which received a very warm response. We can't wait to find out what will happen to the plucky Mancunian heroine in this latest tale!
