A sweeping Liverpool saga following the fortunes of one woman from the 1940s to the 1990s, by the ever-popular, award-winning author.
Annie Harrison has a difficult childhood, and she eventually goes to live in the Grand Hotel with a rich schoolfriend.
Marriage follows and when her husband dies, she throws herself into providing for her children. Starting with a market stall, she discovers a talent for designing clothes that develops into a successful business.
But there comes a time amid the success when Annie feel she can no longer go on. Then a chance meeting leads to events she has no control over, and at last she finds the happiness that has previously eluded her.

Very long winded book. Not as good as pearl street collection. Still worth a read though.

A riveting read about life in the city in the fifties and sixties we can all recognise family life and how we always thought things could be better if we could just find freedom from family reserves
