Oh, how frustrating were those parents, especially Helen‘s mother! How irresponsible of them! This included a 2nd part to the memoir called “Liverpool Miss”. It did end a bit abruptly, though with an epilogue by Helen‘s son to explain where Helen eventually ended up and how she got there. But with regard to the abrupt ending to Helen‘s part of the story, it does seem there is a continuation. I will be putting it on my tbr.

A shorter read than I remember! I first read this when I was about 15 for my English class, and remember it as being much longer.

Anyway, I loved this book just as much the second time round. A solid 5🌟

RuthyBux @MommyWantsToReadHerBook Same. I had to read it for an English class years ago and loved it. It popped into my head recently so decided to read it again. It's a lovely book 6y
Vikkiha I read this 30 years ago because my mum and all her friends were reading it. Such a powerful story. I love historical books about the lives of ordinary people. 6y
