About this audiobook
A fabulous drama of the Campion family, struggling to stay together as World War Two rages over Liverpool
Lou Campion has joined the WAAFs, against the wishes of her parents and twin sister Sasha. Lou's always been a rebel, but now finds that if she wants to succeed she'll have to follow extremely strict rules. Can she do this or will it all end in deep disgrace?
Tragedy haunts the other members of the family, as Katie's plans for the future are dashed, Fran's young husband is close to death and Bella's impossible passion has to remain a close secret. Yet even in the darkest hour there is hope. The Campions find that they have a hero in their midst and while their city is crumbling, their pride is intact.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Where The Heart Is by Annie Groves is the fourth book in her series about a British family living in Liverpool during WW II. It’s been awhile since I read this series, but had no trouble catching up. This book is centered on the youngest members of the family, twin girls. They are now 18 years and while one, Sasha, is contented to work at the local telephone exchange and keep company with her bomb disposal soldier, the other, Lou, has joined the WAAF and is being trained in airplane repair. Lou dreams of getting a chance to fly.The doings of the rest of the family are described, from new engagements to broken ones, a couple of weddings and of being away from home fighting in Northern Africa. These books are like tiny time capsules that capture the conditions and emotions of the British nation during this time. Where the Heart Is brings us up to the beginning of 1943 so there are still a couple of books left to complete the series
