Ellie, Book 3 of Sins of the Mothers, continues the stories of Henrietta, Seth and their daughter, Ellie. She is a brilliant mathematician, drawn into the world of secret intelligence and code-breaking during and after World War Two as Britain's espionage community is beset with spies, defections and disrupted relations with old allies. The specter of Bounders, which brought Henrietta and Joseph together in Book 1 of this series, returns to inflict further mayhem on Ellie's life, resulting in the death of her husband. Through all her problems, Fletchley Manor remains her anchor and in times of stress she returns to the calming influence of the Sussex Downs and the sea. Ann Forrester portrays the healing peace of rural Sussex countryside as Ellie and her new love finally find safe haven.
