Mother Time: Part One

Mother Time is a collection of linked stories that follow a sequence from daughter to mother to grandmother, backwards in time, for thirty generations.

Part One includes the first six links in the chain:

Pip prepares to give birth at the start of the new millennium.

Karen protests the Vietnam War and rebels against her own family.

Eliza faces truths about her aviator brother, killed in World War II.

Beatrice leaves a summer idyll in 1927 for an unexpected adventure.

Elizabeth defies her autocratic grandmother.

Sophie elopes and seeks her fortune in 1870s Chicago.

Part Two and Part Three continue the chain, beginning with Sophie’s mother, back six  centuries to the medieval England of plague and pilgrimage.
