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
Product Description
Forbidden love and family secrets In World War Two Liverpool in the heartrending new saga from the author of Goodnight Sweetheart.
Rosie has grown up in the heart of Liverpool's Italian community, treated as one of their own. With a father away at sea and a mother more interested in other men than her only daughter, the bighearted clans are the closest thing Rosie has to a proper family.
But when war breaks out, everything changes. The community is torn in two: friends become enemies, neighbours become traitors and Rosie is left uncertain of just who she can trust and depend upon.
As war intensifies, and Liverpool is bombed, Rosie’s fears increase. When a devastating attack leaves her mother dead, Rosie is sent to live with her aunt in Edge Hill. Her father is feared missing at sea and her aunt lets slip a family secret which has unimaginable consequences…
Fleeing her cruel aunt, Rosie becomes a Land Girl and falls in love, with someone utterly forbidden. As bombs drop and families are ripped apart by conflict at home and abroad, can they find happiness or will war stand in their way?

Brilliant book. Excellent story and lots of history, which was easy to understand. When I started to read this book I could'nt put it down. Annie writes from the heart and I am sure all who read her books will agree they are well worth the money. Try it I dont think you will be sorry.

I feel a bit bad writing this review when the one below is so glowing! I found this book so slow! I really like Liverpool books and was quite excited finding a new Liverpool author. I gave up after about 100 pages and they took me about 2 weeks to read. I just could not get into it and found the characters a bit fake. It could be that I was not in the mood for that kind of book at the time but when I have read a really good Maureen Lee it pales into significance.

I am a huge fan of Annie Groves books and have gotten through nearly all of her collection since I got my kindle.
Usually I am hooked after the first few pages of her books but this one took a little longer to get into as it went into the Italian community in quite a lot of detail which didn't seem all that relevant at first. Towards the end however it becomes clear why the detail was needed and I liked this book just as much as her others.

I love books about the war and women's roles during that time, but this book is simply dreadful. It's badly written, the characters are either painfully stupid (the lead... Read more
