Description

Liverpool in 1939 was a city on edge. Tom Baines, a historian working on a study of its past architecture, found himself increasingly distracted by the growing threat from Europe. His friendship with Richard, a young photographer, and his wife Bella, added to the turmoil. As the bombings began, Tom joined up as a 'rescue man', retrieving those injured in the ruins. This role proved to be a turning point for Tom, leading him into a very different kind of danger. A love affair soon followed, but one that would put everything at risk. The story is a powerful exploration of love, loss and survival during wartime. Set against the backdrop of Liverpool's experiences during World War II, this novel offers a gripping portrayal of life in a city under siege.
