The Mersey Mothers

 

The Mersey Mothers by Sheila Riley - Post WW2 Saga

We are back by the Mersey this time after the war. Many items are still rationed and the occupants of Reckoners Row pull together to get through tough times. They have their differences and spats but when push comes to shove they all pull together. Ada’s estranged husband Bert tells her shortly before he dies that he knows a secret and where he has hidden the evidence. Ada is suspicious of him as he has always been one to look out for no one but himself- is he telling the truth and what effect might this have on others? 

This is book three in the series and although stands alone the characters would make more sense if the others in the series have also been read. A look back at times gone by and how through tough times and having very little many got through by sheer guts and determination- “She squeezed a penny so hard she thought it might scream”.  A book of strong characters mostly with hearts of gold and caring when no one else would give a damn with a mystery and drama nicely enveloped. A heartwarming read.
