Lyn Andrews is 'an outstanding storyteller' (Woman's Weekly) and her new novel is another captivating read

Lyn Andrews is 'an outstanding storyteller' (Woman's Weekly) - and this heart-warming saga of an orphaned girl who grows up to become a nurse in the First World War is a wonderful read. From the bestselling author of FROM LIVERPOOL WITH LOVE and FAR FROM HOME.

Lyn Andrews' tale of nursing in the field during World War I is haunting and unforgettable. If you enjoy the novels of Kate Thompson and Donna Douglas, you'll love LIVERPOOL ANGELS.

Born at the turn of the twentieth century, Mae Strickland is only a few days old when her mother suddenly dies. Her aunt Maggie brings Mae up together with her own children, Eddie and Alice, and the girls become like sisters. In spite of Mae's unhappy start, life feels full of promise.

Then, as the First World War looms, everything changes. While the local men - including young Eddie - leave to fight, Mae and Alice train as field nurses. As they travel to the front line in the wake of family tragedy, nothing can prepare them for the hardship that lies ahead.

Yet there is solace to be found amid the wreckage of the war, and for both, romance is on the horizon. But it will take great courage for Mae and Alice to follow their hearts. Can love win out in the end?

Her mix of Irish and Liverpool backdrops have won this strong saga writer an assured place in theSunday Times top 10... she's great! - Sarah Broadhurst, Bookseller
