1914: war comes to Emmerdale
1914: war comes to Emmerdale
August 1914, and a terrible war begins, one that will affect the lives of everyone in the village of Beckindale. For Maggie Sugden, left to run Emmerdale Farm on her own while her husband, Joe, is at the front, it will bring grief and loss but also independence and the chance to find a place to belong – and perhaps even to love again.
Christmas At Emmerdale is the first in a sweeping new saga series, exploring the lives of Emmerdale’s much-loved families during the run up to the Great War.
A fictional village and located but certainly located in Yorkshire. The TV show and this book is centered on the community who live in a village. Some of them own farms and others work and live in the village or outside it. The Woolpack is the hub of activity and the place where everyone goes and chats.
