The compelling new bestseller from the author of The Mersey Daughter and
Winter on the Mersey.
Alice Lake and her friend Edith have had everything thrown at them in
their first year as district nurses in London's East End. From babies
born out of wedlock to battered wives, they've had plenty to keep them
occupied.
As rationing takes hold and Hitler's bombers train their sights on
London, there is no escaping the reality of being at war. Edith is
trying to battle on bravely while bearing her own heartache but there's
no escaping the new terror of the bombing raids. The girls find
themselves caught up in the terrible aftermath, their nursing skills
desperately needed by the shaken locals on their rounds.
With the men away fighting for King and country, it's up to the nurses
to keep up the Spirit of the Blitz, and everyone is counting on them...
