About This Item
London: Harper Collins, 1996. First edition. Hardback. Very good/Very Good. The book is in very good condition with little sign of use - just some very light tanning to the pages. The dust jacket is very good with some very small amounts of shelf wear to the head of the spine and along the top and bottom edges edge. Some very slight discolouration to the inner surfaces of the jacket. Helen Forrester remains Liverpool's best-loved author, and this novel set in Merseyside in 1920 will be welcomed by her many fans around the world. Told with insight and compassion, it focuses on three women and their experiences of loss and change just after the First World War. When her husband dies suddenly, Louise Gilmore and her daughters Edna and Celia are left with nothing but debts. Forced to move from their fine Liverpool house with servants to a run-down cottage in Hoylake, the three women must learn to make their way in an entirely new world. Although all three women experience fear, uncertainty and despair at times as they struggle to forge a new life for themselves, they find that there are also unexpected opportunities awaiting them. This is a heartwarming story of hope and fortitude, and also a powerful portrait of a country changed forever by war.
