Between Two Worlds (The Alison Plantaine Sagas) Kindle Edition
Alison Plantaine was born to the theatre. As a child the life she knew was one of backstage dramas and highly-charged emotions. The desire to perform is in her Plantaine blood. But when Alison learns about her secret heritage it makes her question the path she has chosen.
Meanwhile, tastes are changing and the family passion for acting is losing touch with trends. A war is breaking out and Alison senses change in the air. Her mother is a gifted actress and wants her daughter to follow in her footsteps. Her father, shrewd and practical, understands that his daughter’s respect for family tradition must not stifle her talent and the promise of success. But the decision must be Alison’s and she becomes torn between duty and heritage, or the life she always dreamed of on the stage.
A vivid and emotional family saga from a much-loved author, perfect for fans of Rita Bradshaw and Margaret Dickinson.

Maisie Mosco brings her skills to telling the story of Alison Plantaine who was born into a theatrical dynasty. Her early life is spent on the road, touring with the Plantaine Players Shakespearean troupe. Although the family are dignified thespians somehow they never manage to communicate any personal feelings to eachother. Maisie and her father, Horace, are not like the rest.
Horace had left the comfort of his Jewish family in Oldham to take to the stage and eventually marry the boss's daughter, but that meant his family cut him off. It is only when his father in mortally ill that his sister calls him back to the fold. From there begins Alison's connection with the other part of her family.
She soon becomes close to her cousins Conrad and Emma and even, to the surprise of the rest of the Shrager clan, wins her grandfather's affection. However, Oldham has another pull for Alison in the form of Albert, Conrad's best friend.
Among the Plantaine's, Hermione and Oliver have their own secrets that will pull them away from filial affection.
Another of Maisie Mosco's great books which pulls you into the world she creates and this would also make a great TV series.
