Product Description

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 attack; 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.

About the Author
Maureen Lee was born in Liverpool and had numerous short stories published and a play professionally staged before her first novel was published. She is an RNA winner, and writes full time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep the tissues Handy, 15 Jan 2002
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you read this book then you will need to buy the next., 14 Jun 1999
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars buy the follow up the same time, 11 May 1999
By A Customer
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable , abrupt ending
I really enjoyed this book and came to care about the characters ,but I was disappointed by the ending which left the reader not knowing what happened . Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars 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.
