Summary

Liverpool, 1955. With her abusive husband drinking all her wages, Alice faces a daily struggle to provide for her family. Her eldest daughter, Cathy, has always longed to be a nurse, but when poverty means she’s forced to leave school and get a job it looks like her dreams are over. But Cathy isn’t willing to give up, and with the support of old friend - and new love - Gianni, she manages to secure a place as a cadet nurse.

Now, though, her mam must stand up to her violent husband alone - and with less money coming in, Alice will be in danger of losing everything.

What’s more, since nursing students must be unmarried, and Gianni is desperate to settle down, it’s not just her mam who hopes that Cathy will come home....

Can Cathy find a way to have it all, or will becoming a nurse mean leaving her family - and love - behind?

The Nurses of Lark Lane is a heartbreaking saga about a family’s battle to survive.

A really....

nice storyline from start to finish it wasn't as predictable as the first two books in this series. The narrator was ok at using different voices for the characters.

Gripping and emotional part 3

A lovely 3rd story which kept me gripped. I couldn't wait to listen every chance I got. I was looking forward to listening to the next part of Cathy's life in The Midwives of Lark Lane but have been put off by the reviews and the change of narrator. I will have to buy the book which is a shame.

I loved this book

I loved the history of the 1950s in this book, being a 1960 baby some memories related to me. Also my Great Grandmother was a Romany Gypsy in a travelling fair from Sussex. Well written & read.
