Product Description

Product Description
Two years of war have taken a terrible toll on Pearl Street, Liverpool. German bombs have reduced some houses to rubble and most of the inhabitants have lost friends and family. While sisters Eileen and Sheila share the anxious burden of absent husbands, the conflict for others brings excitement and freedom. Kitty Quigley, stuck at home for years with an invalid father, is forced to register for war work and is delighted to become an auxiliary nurse. And Jessica Fleming, struggling to earn a living, finds herself and friend Rita increasingly drawn to the glamour and excitement of the Yanks.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another BRILLIANT account of life in war ravaged Liverpool., 14 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Yet again Maureen Lee has managed to leave me wanting more.... Her stories are such page-turners. (I was up till 3 a.m.reading). Her depiction of life in Liverpool during the war had me enthralled and for the first time ever the horrors of the Second World War stuck in my mind like no history book account has ever managed. Her characters so life like that I almost expected to see them at the recent "Remembrance Sunday" ceremonies. Coming from a generation that has never known real hardship, the story gave a frighteningly realistic sense of the hardship and sufferings of our forebears. Reading these novels gave me a real understanding of what they endured and overcame, and a pride in what they achieved.

5.0 out of 5 stars the thrid part of a excellent wartime trilagy, 22 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Through the Storm ([Pearl Street series]) (Hardcover)
all three books have been so well written that you feel as if you know every person and you can feel the atmosphere. they give a good insight into what it was really like and also the great sence of everyone pulling together and doing their bit. much the same style as harry bowling but much easier to read and you feel more as if you are there. well done maureen lee.

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant finish to the series!!, 29 Dec 2004
A superb book individually and a great finish to the pearl street series. After reading many books set in this period this is one of my favourites along with Queen of the Mersey by Maureen Lee and A Little Love Song by Michelle Magorian. After I finished reading this I felf emotionally attached to the characters and just wished I could find out what happened next! Definetely worth purchasing!
