Book description
Liverpool 1936
Miranda and her mother, Arabella, live comfortably in a nice area.
But when her mother tells her she can no longer afford their present
lifestyle, they have a blazing row, and Miranda goes to bed angry and
upset. When she wakes the next morning, however, her mother has
disappeared.
She raises the alarm but everyone is baffled, and when searches fail
to discover Arabella's whereabouts, Miranda is forced to live with her
Aunt Vi and cousin Beth, who resent her presence and treat her badly.
Miranda is miserable, but when she meets a neighbour, Steve, things
begin to look up and Steve promises to help his new friend in her
search, and does so until war intervenes.
Katie Flynn has lived for many years in the north-west of
England. A compulsive writer, she started with short stories and
articles and many of her early stories were broadcast on Radio
Merseyside. She decided to write her Liverpool series after hearing
the reminiscences of family members about life in the city in the
early years of the twentieth century.
Now a regular Sunday Times bestseller, and the author of over
thirty-three much-loved novels, she is now the UK's biggest selling
saga author.
