The long-awaited Liverpool-at-war novel from an author whose tales of love and loss, passion and pain during the great wars are in a class of their own.

Why, she wonders, does the rent man never call at No. 1 Tippet's Yard? He does everywhere else. Why did Ma avoid talk of her father, but speak only of the idyllic house called Candlefold – a haven and a heaven to her?With Ma gone, Meg must go back to her roots; and in the long sweet summer of 1941 find and lose love.
