Book Overview

A compelling Liverpool story of deep emotion and tangled family relationships which hide a dreadful secret. Alice Lacey couldn't be more different from her sister-in-law, Cora. Alice is married to John, Cora to his hapless younger brother Billie. Both women give birth to sons on one chaotic night in 1940. It is Cora's jealousy and resentment that prompts her to swap her puny baby for Alice's beautiful son. With Alice's marriage in tatters, she borrows money from Cora in order to purchase the lease of the tiny hairdresser where she works. Alice is talented; the business thrives and a chain of salons becomes Laceys of Liverpool. The relationships between the cousins Cormac and Maurice, their parents, Alice's three girls and their eventual husbands and children, combine to give a unique picture of Liverpool in the last sixty years of the twentieth century.

Excellent Novel

I stumbled upon this book at my local library and now I'm keen to read all of Maureen Lee's books. It's one of those novels that always has something happening, and even when it's late at night and you really should be in bed, you'll find yourself thinking "Just one more chapter" and before you know it, it's WAY past your bedtime. All the characters are interesting and it's refreshing to read such an action packed novel that's not too heavy on the romance but yet has plenty of drama.
