Set in pre-World War II Liverpool, Liverpool Lamplight explores the fierce rivalry between siblings Georgie and Katie Deegan as they navigate family, ambition, and love.

Set against the backdrop of pre-World War II Liverpool, Liverpool Lamplight follows the tumultuous lives of siblings Georgie and Katie Deegan. From their childhood in the city's backstreets, the two have always been at odds. Georgie, driven by ambition and a desire for wealth, works a steady job while indulging in illegal money-making schemes. In contrast, Katie finds herself toiling at a local lemonade factory and helping their mother run a fish and game shop. Their contrasting paths set the stage for a fierce battle for control over their family's legacy.

When their father passes away unexpectedly, Georgie believes he has the right to take charge of the family shop. However, Katie and their strong-willed mother, Molly, are not willing to concede without a fight. As tensions rise and World War II looms on the horizon, the Deegan family's dynamics become increasingly fraught. Georgie's relentless drive for power leads him down a dark path, and both Katie and Molly must navigate the challenges posed by his ambitions.

Liverpool Lamplight is a gripping tale of love, ambition, and the lengths one will go to for family. As the story unfolds, readers will be drawn into the lives of the Deegans, experiencing the struggles and triumphs of a community on the brink of change. Lyn Andrews weaves an engaging narrative that resonates with themes of resilience and the complexities of familial relationships.
