Lights out Liverpool, Put out the Fires and Through the Storm are linked novels which cover the war years from 1939 to 1941. The inhabitants of Pearl Street in Bootle, Liverpool share their worries and anguish as they cope with life without their sons, husbands and sweethearts. While the men are off fighting, the women must cope with day to day life and all the problems of war-torn Britain. Writing with the warmth and perception that has made her a bestselling author, Maureen Lee is at her very best in this series of novels which shows us a Liverpool street during the war.
