Helen Forrester was born in Hoylake, Cheshire in 1919 and was the eldest of seven children. She is the author of four phenomenally successful volumes of autobiography and eleven equally popular novels which together have sold several million copies. Starting with Twopence to Cross the Mersey, Helen’s memoirs recount the years of hardship that she and her family suffered in Depression-era Liverpool, the city that features prominently throughout her work. In 1950, Helen married her husband, Avadh, and moved to India, far away from her Merseyside home. They eventually settled in Alberta, Canada where she lived for almost sixty years. These experiences, together with her careful observation of people and life, meticulous research and a wonderful imagination enrich all her writing. Helen was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Liverpool in 1988 and by the University of Alberta in 1993. Twopence to Cross the Mersey and By the Waters of Liverpool have also been made into highly successful and ongoing stage productions. Helen died in 2011 aged ninety-two and her writing continues to inspire readers around the world.
