Book description
As Britain stands alone against a monstrous enemy, the inhabitants of
Pearl Street face hardship and heartbreak with courage and humour. The
war touches each of them in a different way: for Annie Poulson, a widow,
it means never-ending worry when her twin boys are called up and sent to
France; Sheila Reilly's husband, Cal, faces the terror of U-Boat
attacks; Eileen Costello is liberated from a bitter, loveless marriage
when her husband is sent to Egypt and she goes to work in a munitions
factory - and falls in love. And Jessica Fleming, down on her luck, is
forced to return to the street she'd hoped never to see again. Maureen
Lee's award winning novels have earned her many fans. Maureen was born
in Bootle, Liverpool and now lives in Colchester, Essex.
