"Praise for Jenny Holmes" (:)
"While the novel doesn’t gloss over the hardship that the women have to endure, it is as much about the special bond that develops between them and is, more than anything, a celebration of female friendship. Holmes handles her huge cast of characters and several narrative threads with consummate skill and the period setting feels very authentic. It makes for a warmly evocative and satisfying festive read." (Yorkshire Post)
"Vibrant and heart-warming, Jenny Holmes makes Chapel Street come alive." (Sunday Express on The Shop Girls of Chapel Street)
"[Jenny Holmes] creates wonderfully human and flawed characters . . . A thrilling, surprising and bittersweet tale . . . Fans of Call the Midwife will particularly enjoy it" (On: Yorkshire magazine on The Telephone Girls)
"Gritty and uplifting, it's a tale of triumph over adversity" (Choice on The Mill Girls of Albion Lane)
Jenny Holmes lives in a beautiful part of Yorkshire and sets her sagas in the industrial heartland nearby. She enjoys horse riding, gardening and walking her dog in the dales. She also writes children’s books as Jenny Oldfield.
