The concluding part of the compelling Atkinson saga! Perfect for fans of Catherine Cookson, Anna Jacobs, Libby Ashworth and Kate Morton.

Can a new generation of Atkinsons find their way through changing times?

Lancashire, 1854

With Queen Victoria on the throne, England is evolving rapidly - and for a Lancashire cotton family, there are changes closer to home too.

Married life has been kind to Joe and Dove Atkinson, blessed with three children and a happy home. But while bright futures beckon for vivacious May and aspiring doctor Edwin, an uncertain future awaits May's twin, the childlike Marigold.

As the stresses of daily life take their toll on Joe and Dove, for the first time their marriage begins to feel strained. And though mill owner Joe believes passionately in fair conditions for his workers, his trusting nature could be blinding him to a cruel deception...

And for Dove's discontented twin Belle, marriage is a rollercoaster as her unpredictable nature takes its toll on her husband George. So when George makes a shocking revelation, what will it mean for their future together?

Meanwhile Belle's son, mild-mannered Laurence Dilworth, is struggling to find his life's purpose - and hopelessly infatuated with his cousin, hot-headed Lucy Bradshaw. But Lucy is dedicated to a cause that leaves no room for romance ... and may bring her into terrible danger...

Will Joe and Dove ever find their way back to each other? Can they protect their children from the harsh realities of an uncertain world?

And as the cotton famine puts their livelihood in peril, and an unforeseen tragedy shatters the whole family, could their peaceful existence be destroyed for ever?

The final volume in Mollie Hardwick's captivating historical trilogy, DOVE'S NEST continues the saga of two families making their way through rapidly changing times in England in the 19th Century.
