About the Author
THE LEMON TREE
Helen Forrester was born in Hoylake, Cheshire, the eldest of seven children. For many years, until she married, her home was Liverpool – a city that features prominently in her work. For the past forty years she has lived in Alberta, Canada.
Helen Forrester is the author of four best-selling volumes of autobiography and a number of equally successful novels, the latest of which is Madame Barbara. In 1988 she was awarded an honorary D.Litt by the University of Liverpool in recognition of her achievements as an author. The University of Alberta conferred on her the same honour in 1993.
Author’s Note
The book is a novel, not a history. The Harding homestead, the Lady Lavender Soap Works and the people who lived or worked in them are all imaginary; whatever similarity there may be of name, no reference is made or intended to any person living or dead, except for a few well-known historical figures forming part of the background of the book.
