From Liverpool's best-loved author comes a superb novel of loss and grief, love and hope, set on Merseyside in 1920. When her husband dies suddenly, Louise Gilmore and her daughters Edna and Celia are left with nothing but debts. Forced to move from their fine Liverpool house with servants to a run-down cottage in Hoylake, the three women must learn to make their way in an entirely new world. Although they live with fear, uncertainty and even despair, the women find there are also unexpected opportunities in store. This is a heartwarming story of family relationships and a powerful portrait of a nation changed forever by the Great War.

Mourning Doves,
By Uncle Bulgaria (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mourning Doves (Hardcover)
This was a heart warming story, of war time tragedy, and a women recovering from loosing all they had ever known. The story flowed well and managed to cover many years successfully with out the reader feeling that there were still questions to answered. I especially enjoyed the accuracy in which the story was told, and found myself amazed at how far women have come since WWII, as people in their own right, and within the community itself. Highly recommended for those who enjoy historical novels.
