Hope to read more of her books. ( ) I very much enjoyed the story. I didn't realise that this was the second book in a series (my mistake), and I think if I'd read the first story, that may have made things a little clearer - especially the German angle. The story was very dialogue heavy, which I found alternately refreshing, and at times stilted. I don't want to take away from the wealth of the writing though! Far from it. The writing was lovely. And the story was truthful and honest in the portrayal of the characters, but at times I wanted more story and less dialogue. War is horrible, and this story covers how hard it was for those left behind. I just don't think the world realises now how hard it was for the mothers and children who were left to fend for themselves. This book covers that reality very well. I will now read the first book in the series, and cover off the gaps I think I felt when I was reading this book. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling..." Annie sang quietly, holding Derek's baby blue cardigan and trying to detect a familiar smell. The same cardigan he was supposed to wear at his christening. Annie and her friends leave Ireland in 1926 young and optimistic, hoping to find a better life in Liverpool. Only things do not turn out the way they had imagined. Annie falls in love, marries and starts a family of her own. But with the onset of World War Two comes tragedy and loss, testing Annie's strength to the limit. Little does she realise that the salvation of her loved ones lies partly with a German woman named Hilde, whose life and situation mirrors Annie's own. 'Liverpool Connection' is the second book of a trilogy and is based on a true story. The first book, 'The Night I Danced with Rommel', tells Hilde's story. The books are historical novels based on facts and tell the writer's family history. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
