The new Liverpool-based World War Two saga from the author of
Goodnight Sweetheart is a tale of four very different young women
thrown together by war. A unique bond is formed as the hostilities
take their toll on Britain. When Diane Wilson leaves Cambridge for
Liverpool, destined for Derby House and war work as a teleprint
operator, she is intent on mending her broken heart. But will
hundreds of miles ease the pain of her betrayal? From the moment
she first lays eyes on Myra Stone in the Wavertree terrace she is
billeted to, Diane senses she's bad news. But does Myra's
bitterness and caustic wit belie a secret heartache? Ruthie starts
work at the munitions factory, enduring terrible conditions in
order to put food on the table for herself and her widowed mother.
But Ruthie is befriended by lively and vivacious Jess Hunt who
injects colour and fun into the drab surroundings. All four women
are brought together at The Grafton, the local dance hall favoured
by American GIs as well as the local girls. In this heady,
uncertain time, infatuation and passion blossom. But has each girl
found true love - or true trouble?
