Laceys of Liverpool [Paperback]

Maureen Lee (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2001

Vivacious Alice Lacey couldn't be more different from her sister-in-law, the bitter, ambitious Cora. Both women give birth to sons on one chaotic night in 1940, and Cora's jealousy and resentment prompt her to swap her puny baby for Alice's beautiful son. The relationships between the cousins Cormac and Maurice, their parents, Alice's 3 girls, and their eventual husbands and children, combine to give a unique picture of Liverpool in the last 60 years of the 20th century.

This review is from: Laceys of Liverpool (Paperback)

I stumbled upon this book at my local library and now I'm keen to read all of Maureen Lee's books. It's one of those novels that always has something happening, and even when it's late at night and you really should be in bed, you'll find yourself thinking "Just one more chapter" and before you know it, it's WAY past your bedtime. All the characters are interesting and it's refreshing to read such an action packed novel that's not too heavy on the romance but yet has plenty of drama.
