COMING HOME TO BYLAND CRESCENT

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A sweeping epic of a tale, brilliantly written. Great characters, finely drawn. Great settings, beautifully described. An honest human story that keeps you enthralled to the end. Well worthy, I would say, of being adapted for television.” JamesJones950

A HEARTWARMING AND HEART-WRENCHING NEW SAGA SERIES FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR BILL KITSON. 

Please note this book was previously published as Retribution. 

From humble origins, the Cowgill family have bettered their lot. Through love and loss, hope and heartbreak, they work hard and face their troubles together, no matter what life throws at them.

Yorkshire, 1946. 

World War Two is finally over. But for the Cowgill family there are fresh challenges to face and new battles to be fought.

At last, Sonny and Rachel Cowgill hear the news they’ve been so desperate for. Their son Mark, who was injured in the very last days of the fighting, will make it home in time for Christmas. 

But their youngest son Billy has not been so lucky. He was declared missing in action in Crete and is presumed dead. Sonny and Rachel are learning to give up hope of seeing him again.

Meanwhile, in Australia, Luke Fisher returns from the German prisoner of war camp where he was interned. His beloved fiancé Isabella Finnegan is waiting for him.

But all is not well. Luke discovers that one of the Fisher Spring mining companies has been illegally poisoning the plant’s water, making the local population seriously ill. Including his fiancé’s family.

Can Luke put things right to rescue his relationship — and his business — in time? 

Discover the trials and tribulations of a Yorkshire family through the decades. 

Readers of Sheila Riley, Pam Howes, Lizzie Lane, Tania Crosse, Dilly Court, Dinah Jeffries, Suzanne Goldring and all fans of Downton Abbey and The Forsyte Saga will devour this touching saga series. 

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT BILL KITSON’S CAPTIVATING SAGA SERIES: 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I love this author whichever guise he is in. This is a real swerve away from his usual crime thrillers (DI Mike Nash series) but, being a real devout Downton Abbey fan, I decided to give it a whirl. It is a very moving story of hardship, good times and tragedy in a very close-knit family.” JanBee

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A literary masterpiece which possessed each trait determined for a master work. The author had an effective, subtle way in his style of writing.” Mary Crocco 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “If you liked Downton Abbey, you should enjoy this series too.” Aegeanjan 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “An excellent and interesting read. Looking forward to the next book. Highly Recommended!!” G. Lee 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Brilliant. Looking forward to reading the sequel. Very intriguing and such a compelling story incorporating the First World War and its history.” Ann 

⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The story spans the years between WWI & WWII and the Cowgill and Fisher families’ joy, sorrow, and challenges during that time. I really enjoyed the details of the family and their lives as they are very reminiscent of the Downton Abbey family.” 

“The author keeps the story moving with his fine drawing of the characters and their reactions to each other and to the circumstances of their lives.” Gazette & Herald 

“A brilliant opener to Bill’s saga series, with attention to detail and a strongly character-driven narrative . . . Faultless historical detail and superb dialogue make this a hugely enjoyable family drama.” Books Monthly
