Praise for Annie Groves:
‘An engrossing story.’ My Weekly
‘A stirring and heartrending family saga…Against a backdrop of change when the suffragette movement was coming to the fore, the choices and dreams of a generation of women combine to create this passionate story.’ Liverpool Daily Post
‘Heartwrenching and uplifting in equal measure – a tragic indictment of what can happen when you swap passion for duty. Roll on the sequel!’ Take a Break
‘Exceptionally good within this area, well written and beautifully developed characters.’ Sarah Broadhurst, Bookseller
Product Description
The new Liverpool-based World War Two saga from HarperCollins’ big star.
When Sam Grey joins the ATS, she wants to find adventure, not end up in office work. But when she’s posted to Liverpool, that’s what she’s allocated. Sam wants to show that she’s as brave as any man, and when she doesn’t get the chance her lively nature leads her into confrontation with her authoritarian boss. Sparks also fly when she encounters Johnny, whose heroic work in bomb disposal makes him very attractive to many women – but Sam’s determined not to fall for his charm.
Sally wants nothing more than to protect her small children while her husband is a prisoner of war. She works hard doing shifts in a factory and singing at the Grafton ballroom, confessing to no-one the shameful reason why she needs two jobs. But help is at hand, from a most unlikely source.
Annie Groves is fast becoming one of Liverpool’s favourite saga writers. This stirring tale of women fighting together to do their bit for their country, keep their families together and finding love and fulfilment in the process will delight her fans and win her many more.

As a Liverpudlian wartime saga it wasn't bad ,pretty much like all the others just a different author.Speaking of which I wish she had remembered who she was writing about on several occasions she'd be writing about Sam and then call her Sally or visa versa.I'd have to go back over what I'd just read to check I wasn't the one going mad.

An enjoyable WWII home front book
8 Dec 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I enjoyed this romantic WWII home front book which tells the story of two different girls: a tomboy with a big heart but not a lot of experience in love or confidence in herself, and a mother of two little boys who is struggling to get by financially and keep her head above water. Both women fall in love and have to overcome their fears to find love and happiness, even if this happiness may be short during the dangerous war years. I liked the book, and found that it was easy to fit in reading a chapter or two here or there and then pick it up again later. Some places, it was a bit predictable but enjoyable none the less.
