Book Description

June 1996 Street at War
This saga centres on the Budd family, a working-class family in Portsmouth. The horror of the air raid sirens sounding at night and the naval dockyards buzzing with the activity of war provide the backdrop to tales of loyalty, heroism, heartache and love during the city's finest hour.

More About the Author

Hi,I am Lilian Harry and am delighted to welcome you to my Author Central page. I've been writing for a long time now, under the name Donna Baker as well as Lilian Harry, and most of my books are classed as 'historical novels', including those set during the Second World War (which is slightly hurtful, since I remember it....) I grew up near Portsmouth in Hampshire, have lived in Devon, Herefordshire and the Lake District (my favourite place!) and am now back in Devon on the edge of Dartmoor, where I am out every day walking my miniature schnauzer. Apart from writing, I ring bells, take part in amateur dramatics, go to concerts, theatre etc, read and play bridge - but only with very tolerant, forgiving people who like me a lot. (Or on the computer!) I would like to be cloned so that I can do all these things simultaneously.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Second in her Portsmouth Series, August 12, 2003

"The Girls they left Behind" is the second in Lilian Harry's Portsmouth series and is really great! This book picks up few days later after the events in "Goodbye Sweetheart." I have to say I like the second book better than the frist due to the fact the pace of the book was better. This is a great series for anyone who loves book set in the war era.
