Lights Out Liverpool

By Maureen Lee

Book Overview

The first of the Liverpool Pearl Street novels set against the backdrop of the Second World War. As Britain stands alone against a monstrous enemy, the inhabitants of Pearl Street 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.

A Great Read

This book would interest anyone who was a WWII child here in the USA. Personalizes what those in Europe went through. Story and characters kept me spellbound. Maureen Lee has become one of my favorite authors.
