Three women of Liverpool - Helen Forster- Women's historical fiction  

This is set in 1941 in the war. Reading this whilst in lockdown made me realise even

more how little many people currently appreciate their current situation. Yes we are

confined but we don’t have the daily threat of bombing and air raids, falling rubble

and shrapnel and having to spend the night in a cold dark place in fear. This is very

well written and although not normally a fan of historical fiction this one really

engaged me. It's an easy read and an informative one and maybe one many should

read to learn about the horrors that went on no so very long ago- many of our

parents were children at this time. A story of three women Emma, Gwen and Ellen.

Gwen is happily married and very house proud and rather a snob truth be told.

Her husband is brother to Emma who is at long last engaged after spending much

of life looking after her parents who have recently died. Gwen did nothing and

just wants the furniture. Ellen has five children and struggles from day to day to

look after them let alone in wartime. The women and their families are thrown

together unwittingly by the trials of the war. A tale of hope and determination,

of caring and how things can change in the blink of an eye.

A wonderful, inspiring, very interesting read.
