Book description
One of Lyn Andrews' first eight novels, transferring from the original
publisher to Headline; already steady sellers, they will be targeted for
a huge increase in sales. Aunt Babsey considered herself a cut above her
neighbours on Everton Ridge. For one thing she was 'trade'. She taught
her children to be respectable, and she ruled her family with a rod of
iron. Fourteen-year-old Louisa was the only one who didn't quite fit in.
With her mother dead and her father away at sea, she was becoming
increasingly aware of the grinding poverty of the thirties. The tough
conditions of Liverpool - love, war, betrayal, death - all made her
determined to seek her own path, both in the man she loved, and the work
which would eventually make her famous throughout the city as Liverpool
Lou.
