“If you think this is a predictable novel, however, you will
miss not only a sweeping story of joy and sorrow, triumph and tragedy, but also
an amazing overview of the century seen through a family saga. Tricia McGill
takes a bold step into mainstream fiction with this book that flows like a
gentle stream on the surface, but conceals a strong undercurrent and unexpected
depths.” Mary Allyce.

Remnants of Dreams begins
in North London with Alicia's story. It is 1914, just at the beginning of WW1.
Alicia is left with a child when her first love is killed. She eventually
marries Matt and they have another nine children. This is the story of a changing
world, and takes us through two world wars, following the loves and heartaches
of a large family battling extreme poverty. But despite this they are rich in
the things that matter--love and pride.
Part two is the story of Sara, Alicia's headstrong daughter. History
repeats itself when Sara’s first love is tragically killed, leaving her
carrying his child. Not as fortunate as
her mother Sara marries the wrong man because the one she loves is married to
her sister. But following her mother's example she finds the strength and
courage to face many trials and setbacks before building a new life for her and
her daughters, and in due course finding true love.

He traced a path over her body with
fingers that trembled. "You're so beautiful," he whispered, a hushed
reverence in his tone. "We'll make wonderful music together, you and me.
We'll reach the stars and find a world where no one's ever been before."
"You're quite a poet, Mathew King,"
she said, her voice shaking with nervousness, and desire.
He drew a deep uneven breath.
"I feel like one when I'm with you. I want to take all the finest words
that have ever been thought of and put them into a poem to honor you." He
laughed, but then grew serious as he looked into her eyes.
"I can't wait to see you big
with my child. To see you suckling our babe at your breast." He kissed her
lingeringly. "You'll look beautiful."
"I'll look like a duck
waddling along," she said on a shuddering sigh.
"Not you, my love, and don't
put yourself down, d'you hear? You'll look like a swan--always beautiful."
He cupped her chin and ran his thumb across her jaw. "But enough talk for
now, I've been waiting to love you for so long, I'm growing impatient."
