Product Description
Book Description
The first of the Liverpool Pearl Street novels set against the backdrop of the Second World War.
Product Description
As Britain stands alone against a monstrous enemy, the inhabitants of Pearl Street face hardship and heartbreak with courage and humour. The war touches each of them in a different way: for Annie Poulson, a widow, it means never-ending worry when her twin boys are called up and sent to France; Sheila Reilly's husband, Cal, faces the terror of U-Boat attacks; Eileen Costello is liberated from a bitter, loveless marriage when her husband is sent to Egypt and she goes to work in a munitions factory - and falls in love. And Jessica Fleming, down on her luck, is forced to return to the street she'd hoped never to see again.

Not since reading Lilly my Lovely (LENA KENNEDY)
have i cried so much reading a book You feel Eileens total dispair at the end of the book yes the ending is a cliffhanger and you will need to buy the other books, i would put these books in the same league as Lillian Harrys "April Grove"
books and if you enjoy them you are sure to enjoy
these, i have to say i am now a true fan of Maureen Lee and can't wait to read more of her books.

I read this book twice, just to make sure I had not missed anything. I then went on a trail to buy the sequel. The book was fantastic. I cried at the sad happenings and laughed along with all the characters on a good day. This is the best book I have ever read. I actually felt that i was a part of the happenings. Fantastic.

Don't buy this book unless you're prepared to buy the follow up books, Put out the Fires and Stepping Stones. They are SO good. Maureen Lee writes it as it was:- according to my mother who lived through these times and started to cry a couple of chapters into the books as she could remember how it felt. You have been warned! Tissues to the ready! Anyone who enjoys a good family saga brilliantly written will be totally immersed in these books.

I t was very moving,and I cared about the characters.
I have read many WW2 novels, and this one was very good. I gained a different perspective learning about what the citizen in Bootle, Liverpoole went through during the war.
