Set during the Second World War in Liverpool, this is a brand new Maureen Lee. On 3rd September 1939, Amy Browning decided to start writing a diary.
It was a momentous day for so many reasons: it was Amy's 18th
birthday; her sister had just given birth to a baby boy; and on the
radio it was announced that Great Britain was now at war with Germany.
For a while, life didn't change very much for Amy. Living with her family in Opal Street, Liverpool, Amy and her friend both got jobs at a factory, and spent their free time looking round the shops, or watching the ships being loaded at the docks. But as the months went by, things began to change. The bombing started, and Amy's fears grew for her brother, fighting in France, and her boyfriend Ian, in the RAF...
Maureen Lee's award winning novels have earned her many fans. Her latest novel, The Leaving of Liverpool, was a Sunday Times top ten bestseller. Maureen was born in Bootle, Liverpool and now lives in Colchester, Essex.
