1896. Tirzah, Sophia and Polly are best friends who’ve left boarding school and gone back to very different lives. Polly is teaching in an orphanage. Sophia is looking for a rich husband at the London Season. And Tirzah is stuck acting as an unpaid companion to her grandmother.

Reviews for Yours From the Tower

"""An addictive, romantic epistolary novel"" * Guardian * ""I loved this book. An unputdownable friendship story told in letters so vivid and immersive that I felt like joining in with the correspondence"" -- Hilary McKay ""Building on her previous historical fiction exploring the restrictions on women in society, the award-winning, always-excellent Sally Nicholls moves to the late Victorian era... This immersive, uplifting book is an absolute delight"" * The Irish Times * ""With great affection and sympathy, these winning heroines forge their own paths in this highly readable, tautly paced work"" -- starred review * Publishers Weekly * ""Nicholls' award-winning young adult novels conjure up the confusion and passion of adolescence — and never more so than in this thrilling and cleverly constructed story... Against a backdrop of feminism, Nicholls balances their contrasting characters with delightful wit and warmth"" * Daily Mail *"
