Product Description
Book Description
A gripping saga from the bestselling author of A World of Difference
Product Description
Brought together by friendship, torn apart by love...
Meg Hughes, Tom Fraser and Martin Hunter were friends who had grown up together in the grinding poverty of a Liverpool orphanage. Their prospects looked bleak until the friends were sent to help out at Hemingway Shipping Line's emigrant lodging house. Then their youthful high spirits blossomed into their plans for the future.
But the First World War brought an end to those plans, and threatened to separate them.
As time passes, Meg grows more and more beautiful, and the love the two men feel for her becomes passionately possessive. Meg, in different ways, is in love with both Tom and Martin . . . and is to bear a child by one of them.
Grief and suffering, as well as happiness and hope, must all play their part before the childhood friends' deep and complex relationships are finally and tragically resolved.

I really enjoyed this book. I espeacially liked all the characters, Tom ,Martin and Meg.
The story is based around the three orphans in the poverty in Liverpool. They all are close and look after each other especially Meg.
The story is based around the three orphans in the poverty in Liverpool. They all are close and look after each other especially Meg.
They all had different personalities Martin has a temper, Tom is quiet and Meg is fiery.
As the story goes on and as the First World War looms up, the two boys fall in love with Meg who also is in love but in different ways,with the two boys.
The story deals with grief, suffering and they all have to suffer their own pain in the story.
This story is brilliant. I couldn't put the book down once I had opened it and ended up finshing it in a couple of weeks.
You really fall in love with the characters and get to know them well as Audrey writes them fantastically.
This book is well worth the buy and is enjoyable.

I found this book enchanting, and most of the time it had me hooked. However, i did find myself skimming much of the detail - which often seemed irrelevant - more concentration on how the characters were actually thinking and feeling would have helped. Overall, the setting and storyline could be made into a really good television production. The best bit was the ending. Its a great book for anyone who likes a good plot which keeps you interested right until the end and actually has you caring for the characters.

I am a fan of Audrey Howard's and looked forward to reading this. Sadly though, I found it a good story completely ruined for me by the excessive use of exclamation marks. Every other sentence seemed to have one. And I would have thought a writer of Audrey's calibre would have known the difference between its and it's. Shame.
