The Girls From Mersey View: Lyn Andrews

Liverpool, 1935. Monica and Joan Copperfield are firm friends. Monica dreams of a better life as a hairdresser - though her parents are suspicious of such a glamorous profession. Joan has her eye on a job at Crawford`s biscuit factory, with cheap chocolate biscuits as an irresistible perk.

When Monica catches the eye of her boss`s son, she`s flattered. But could he ever be serious about a back-street girl? Meanwhile Glaswegian Jim is keen on Joan - but she`s grown up around a bad marriage, and is suspicious of romance. Yet Jim`s kindness and sense of humour are hard to resist . . .

Shocking secrets, lifelong friendships and the unbreakable spirit of a working-class community facing war are woven irresistibly together in Lyn Andrews` evocative novel.
