A memorable saga from one of the best-loved writers of the genre.
Sheelagh Kelly gives us the pain and determination of the people of
York during the Second World War. Nell is just eighteen when war
breaks out, and she's keen to do her bit - which means leaving her
safe office job and starting to train as an auxiliary nurse. This
will bring her into contact with women of all ages and from very
different parts of society - and it will also bring her face to
face with the grim realities of war. But she has a secret to
comfort her - a soldier she's met and fallen in love with, who's
promised to return to marry her. The unthinkable happens: bombs
fall on York. And for Nell, this coincides with a dreadful tragedy
that she can share with nobody, and which brings life-changing
consequences. Shhelagh Kelly writes with deep feeling, evoking all
the warmth and hardship of a city under siege - the city in which
she was born and which she knows so well. This will thrill her
numrous fans and win her many more.
