Liverpool, May 1941. The worst week of the Blitz. Helen Forrester produces another moving novel set on Merseyside.

A family woman with a friend dying from lack of medical attention realizes, after being cornered by three men one night, how she can earn the money to help her friend and herself.

The fourth and final part of Helen Forrester’s bestselling autobiography concludes the moving story of her early poverty-stricken life in Liverpool.

This major best-selling memoir of a poverty-stricken childhood in Liverpool is one of the most harrowing but uplifting books you will ever read.

Beryl Bainbridge, Clive Barker, Terence Davies, and J. G. Farrell represent only a handful of the fascinating and provocative writers who have emerged from the Liverpool literary scene in the past seventy-five years. Published in commemoration of Liverpool’s 800th birthday in 2007 and in celebration of its status as a European City of Culture in 2008, Writing Liverpool presents a selection of essays and interviews with the filmmakers, journalists, cultural critics, and novelists who have called the city home—asking if there is a distinctive Liverpool voice, and if so, how we identify it.

The third best-selling volume in the powerful story of Helen Forrester’s childhood and adolescence in poverty-stricken Liverpool during the 1930s.
