From the author of "The Grafton Girls" comes the story of one
Liverpool family preparing for the onslaught of World War Two,
while trying not to fight among themselves. Jean and Vi are twins
but couldn't be more different. Jean's proud of her honest,
hardworking husband and their children, but there's never a penny
to spare. Vi's equally proud of her husband's new role as a local
councilman and their elegant new house, and has raised her children
to expect the best. As war breaks out, agonizing decisions must be
faced. Should the oldest children enlist? Should the youngest be
evacuated? All the traditional certainties are overturned. Then the
twins' own younger sister, singer Francine, returns home
unexpectedly and stirs up the past, even in the midst of present
danger. This is a tremendous saga of fighting spirit and family
closeness, and the belief that even though today is full of
destruction and pain, there is hope for a better tomorrow.
