Our Mersey Shore

A gripping novel of love and loss in a world in chaos, Our Mersey Shore, charts how the human spirit can triumph over adversity, in one of the darkest times of recent history.

Maggie Brady lives in Bootle, Liverpool. She is just sixteen when World War Two breaks out in Europe. Maggie and her family must face the possibility of a terrifying Blitz that could destroy all they hold dear.

Her father works at the heart of the Liverpool docks, the biggest Luftwaffe target outside London.

Her seven brothers and Billy, the love of her life, must face the perils of the Battle of the Atlantic day and night.

Her eldest brother Tom returned from America where he lived since Maggie was a child. Why will Tom never talk about New York? What happened to make him come back after all these years?

Can love and hope survive when the very fabric of life is torn asunder? When the daily struggle becomes a fight for survival? When Bootle becomes the most bombed town in Britain?
