Ilustration As Books Liverpool Lies
Another great family saga by Anne Baker, this one goes from 1941 to 1947 and is the story of Connie and Lottie Brinsley.They are training as nurses and living in quarters at the hospital they work at when their home is bombed and their parents and youngest brother are killed. This devastates them but not as much as the secret their mother had kept for over 20 years.
Lottie finds out that who she thought was her Uncle Steve was in actual fact her father. It takes her quite some time to come to terms with this and the secret life that her mother had led, Connie and their younger brother Cliff accept it easier than she does.
It's war time and Lottie wants to join up and do her bit, she rushes into marriage with Waldo Padley while Connie who has been fussy with finding the right man marries Clovis Montague. Lottie goes off to war and when she comes home things are not as she expected them to be.
There are other great people in this book that we see over the years. I love the way Anne writes her stories and this was a good one.
