Description
Liverpool, 1939. As the Second World War looms, two young women's lives are about to become inextricably linked. Laura Oliver, twenty-one and happily married, meets Queenie Todd, fourteen and struggling with her own demons. Despite their differences, they form a strong bond, but when the air raids begin, Queenie is entrusted with caring for two young children, and the three of them are evacuated to a small town on the coast of Wales. At first, this new life brings peace and quiet, but it's short-lived. Something terrifying happens that will haunt them for the rest of their lives. This heart-wrenching family story spans forty turbulent years, exploring themes of friendship, loss, and resilience in the face of adversity. With its vivid portrayal of wartime Britain, Queen of the Mersey is a powerful and emotional read that will stay with you long after you finish the book.
