  • Description:
    The Great War has ended and Dee Chatterton has happily settled down with Tommy Kerrigan, but Hannah Harvey has different aspirations - she moves to Ashenden as Richard's personal nurse, separated from close family and friends. A sequel to "Mist over the Mersey". From the Back Cover The Great War had ended and Scotland Road was left to count the cost. Many of the young men had not come back; those who had would never be quite the same again. Women had lost their sons, husbands and lovers, and Dee Chatterton and Abbie Kerrigan had also seen the horrors of war for themselves as nurses in the military hospitals of France and Belgium. Dee married Tommy Kerrigan and went to live in Canada while Abbie settled down with her childhood sweetheart Mike Burgess. The familiar surroundings of Scotland Road and Burlington Street, even with their attendant hardships, were all they wanted; and for Mike, safely returned from the horrors of the battlefield, there seemed only one career to follow - the Liverpool Police Force. For some of the locals, however, other horizons beckoned. Mike's flighty sister Chrissie fancied herself as part of high society when she went to work in a posh dress shop, while Hannah Harvey's wartime nursing had brought her into contact with no less a person than Richard, seventh Earl of Ashenden, badly injured in the war. Moving to the splendours of Ashenden Hall as Richard's personal nurse was to bring her unimagined happiness, but also the heartache of being separated forever from her family and friends.
