Kate Eastham writes such lovely stories that draw you into the book,the charactors are brilliant and i look forward to the next book from this fabulous author 5*

I have to say, I love Kate Eastham's books. Well written and follows the characters brilliantly. Now I've finished i want more! Kate has a way of transporting you to the characters as if we are going through it all with them. Yet again,another cracker.

A story set in late 19th century Liverpool where poverty is everywhere and disease is prevalent. When Maud Linklater returns from New York with her adopted son she is determined to go back to work as a nurse and put into practice everything that she has learned whilst working there. I loved the depth of the characters and the story was well written. I didn't realise that it was part of a series but it can easily be read as a stand-alone as there's lots of background information.
