Praise for Anne Baker’s Merseyside sagas: ‘A stirring tale of romance and passion, poverty and ambition’ Liverpool Echo

It’s 1937 and for sisters Lizzie and Milly Travis there’s nothing quite like the thrill of the funfair at New Brighton. Amid the bright lights and whirling rides, Lizzie wins a lucky sixpence on a stall – as well as the heart of a handsome stallholder.

Ben McCluskey isn’t the type of man Lizzie’s respectable parents had in mind for her, nevertheless the young couple embark on a whirlwind romance. Lizzie’s mother worries that history will repeat itself when Ben introduces her daughter to a world she never knew existed. And, as war looms, Milly realises that her sister’s luck can’t last for ever…
