Synopsis

An emotional and compelling wartime drama from the author of Only a Mother Knows and A Christmas Promise. Perfect for fans of Katie Flynn. The phoney war is over and Hitler’s bombs are raining down on the city of Liverpool. Rita Kennedy is forced to face some unpalatable truths about her husband, Charlie. But she must still play the part of dutiful wife, while her childhood sweetheart, Jack Callaghan, has shown her nothing but kindness. Can they keep a check on their emotions or will their friendship develop into something more? For Kitty Callaghan, burying herself in her work distracts from the constant worry about her brothers. Tommy is back from his evacuee posting after falling ill, but now he faces danger in another guise. And what about Danny, always ducking and diving and up to no good? And then there’s Frank Feeny, the man she adores. Will they ever be together? With a Christmas of rationing and ‘going without’ to look forward to, the women of Empire Street are being tested like never before. But their troubles are only just beginning…

Reviews

Goodreads review by kellie

Not as good as the first one. I thought that she kept repeating herself and it got a bit boring. Looking forward to reading 'The Mersey Daughter' next though.......more

Brilliant read Really enjoyed the second book in the series and have gone on and purchased the last 2 in the series and can’t wait to see how it ends for Dolly and her family, hoping there is a couple of romances for certain characters but won’t mention names as not to spoil it. Brilliant series well......more

Goodreads review by Lyn

I usually love Annie Groves books but I found this one very confusing. Too many characters to try and remember plus where they fitted in left me scratching my head. I persisted to the end but can’t say I enjoyed it.......more
