Queen Of The Mersey Teg

The Second World War is about to start when Laura Oliver meets Queenie Todd. Laura is 21 and happily married. At 14, Queenie lacks Laura's confidence, and has been deserted by her good-time mother. The two become friends, but when the air raids begin Queenie is trusted to look after 2 young children, and the three of them are evacuated to a small town on the coast of Wales. At first it is a haven of peace and quiet--but then something happens, so terrifying that it will haunt them for the rest of their lives. "Queen of the Mersey" is the powerful story of great friendships and terrible betrayals.
