Number One bestseller Maureen Lee’s first novel of the hugely popular Pearl Street series.
‘With her talent for storytelling, queen of saga-writing Maureen Lee weaves intrigue, love and warmth into every page’ My Weekly
As Britain stands alone against a monstrous enemy, the inhabitants of Pearl Street, in Liverpool, 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 attacks; 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.
