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 Fiction Feast
Product Description
A stirring novel of passion, lost loves and one girl’s determination to conquer the odds from the author of ELLIE PRIDE.
When Connie Pride finds herself alone and pregnant in the rough courts of Liverpool, she despairs. Deserted by her lover, menaced by his bullying uncle, and too proud to ask her estranged family for help, there seems no hope.
Rescued from the gutter, she is offered
the chance to train as a nurse at the Poor Hospital. Life becomes a whirl of hard work and long shifts, but also lively evenings at the music hall with her fellow nurses and the newly drafted soldiers. Finally Connie
has a purpose in life – especially when the wounded of World War 1 start to arrive in their droves on the hospital wards. With
a roof over her head and a steady wage, if
she can stay out of trouble, the future looks brighter. Even love seems possible again …
But then a face from the violent past turns
up to disrupt Connie’s new life and shatter her dreams. All she has built up is threatened – and she herself is in physical danger. It
will take every ounce of the courage she possesses to overcome the odds – and a little help from old friends and new …

Format:Paperback
......rather disappointing. I have read Ellie Pride and this was by far the superior book. Connies Courage lacked the chemistry between the two main characters.

Format:Paperback
This is the second book I have tried to read by Annie Groves; i thought I might of been a bit harsh with the last one and given up too easily so when I saw this I was quite excited by the read up. To begin with this book was really good, it had a gripping story line, then it went off the boil when Connie started nursing. I feel that this author gives too much detail to miniscule things and not to the story line which makes it a bit boring. I don't think I would reccomend this book, again I did not finish it! I feel 2 stars may be being a bit generous... did not have the heart to give it one star.

This is the second book in the Pride family trilogy. Would definitely recommend, it is a very good read. You do need to read the other two to grasp the full story. Both of them are excellent reads.
