Evocative and heartrending saga of Liverpool during World War Two, from the author of AS TIME GOES BY β rising star Annie Groves
Katieβs full of trepidation as she arrives in Liverpool. Itβs her first posting and her work will be so secret that she canβt even speak about it to the family sheβs billeted with. She makes it clear that sheβs here to do her bit for the war effort, not to flirt with the many servicemen based at the nearby barracks. Which is just fine with Luke, son of the household and battle-scarred veteran of Dunkirk. Heβs had his heart broken already by a flighty nurse. His mother canβt help worry about him - but sheβs got more than enough on her plate with her youngest children, the teenage twins, who donβt see why a war should stop them having fun and achieving their ambition to go on the stage.
Then the bombs begin to rain in Liverpool in earnest and everyone, from oldest to youngest, must realise what matters most in life.
