‘The queen of saga writing’ MY WEEKLY
‘Maureen Lee is one of those hugely talented authors who writes great women for women readers. Her books don’t just have one heroine, they have several. But even by her popular standards, The September Girls is exceptional. … a thumping multi-generational saga’ DAILY RECORD
In Liverpool, on a stormy September night in 1920, two women from very different backgrounds give birth to daughters in the same house. Enemies at first, they later become friends when separate troubles unite them. But friendship between their daughters, Cara and Sybil, is a different matter.
Nineteen years later, at the beginning of the Second World War, Cara and Sybil find themselves thrown together when they enlist and are both stationed in Malta. It is a time of live-changing repercussions for them both while, back home in Liverpool, the bombs rain down on a defiant city.
