    About this ebook

    A moving saga of conflicted family loyalties and late-flowering passion set in 1970s' Liverpool.

    Liverpool, 1973. Reluctantly, widow Jenny Langton decides to downsize, swapping the spacious family home she shared with her late husband for a one-bedroomed retirement flat at Merseyside Mansions.

    It’s difficult enough attempting to start anew at her age, but the antics of her wayward granddaughter Karen, and her disastrous choice of men, threaten to drive Jenny to distraction. Finally conceding that Karen must make her own mistakes in life, Jenny determines to move on and no longer interfere.

    Just as she’s settling into Merseyside Mansions and making new friends, Karen’s reappearance threatens to de-rail Jenny’s carefully-constructed new life and cause problems with her fellow residents. Her relationship with her granddaughter tested to the limit, Jenny must decide whether she should allow family loyalty to stand in the way of her future happiness – particularly now she’s about to embark on a late-flowering love affair …

      Molly comes to a dawning realisation about her family. In another county Euan is building a new project. What is going to happen to them is pretty obvious from the beginning, the rest of the story woven round it less so. Where will family loyalties lie?An utterly enjoyable and engrossing read. I read this in an afternoon - I couldn't bear not to find out what happened next. Sometimes that's all you need from a book :)
