‘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

Product Description
The much-loved author of ACROSS THE MERSEY tells of Liverpool under bombardment as never before – but the Campion family refuses to give in.
The Campions have always stuck together through danger and sorrow, but even they begin to wonder if it’s time to take their youngest, the twins, to safety away from the bombing raids. The twins have other worries on their minds; having been inseparable, they now realise that they each have different ambitions - and Lou isn’t sure she’ll find what she wants close to home.
Meanwhile, cousin Bella is managing a creche and discovers that life isn’t all about pleasure. She’s the last person her family would expect to help anyone; but when a figure from the past turns up on the doorstep, Bella’s unexpected reserves of compassion are revealed.
From hardship and heartbreak, surviving the toughest of times, the Campions know they can make it through if they have one another.

Format:Paperback
Stumbled on this writer through my kindle, this is a series of books following the campion family through the second world war. I loved these books they are well written and well thought out, annie groves writes these books so she makes you feel like your part of their family, coming from liverpool myself i knew most of the places that she wrote about. I would highly recommend these series of books but they are more for woman i think some men would find them to slushy. I will be keeping my eye out for more books written by this author.

Format:Paperback
This is third book in series involving the Campion family in wartime Liverpool. It is a thoroughly good read. You almost feel part of the family and as I am from that part of the country I can relate to the area.
My only criticism is that this book is not available on Kindle. WHY?
