A Mother's Love

by Lyn Andrews

Bestselling author Lyn Andrews' touching Liverpool saga A MOTHER'S LOVE is perfect for fans of Ellie Dean and Kate Thompson.

Eve and Eddie Dobson have been running the George pub in Liverpool for over twenty years. Now, though, the Depression is taking hold and, with money in short supply, it's galling for Eve that the barmaid they can barely afford spends the day making eyes at Eddie rather than pulling her weight behind the bar.

At least her three daughters have never been a worry to Eve. Lily's dreams of going on the stage haven't led her into trouble, so far. Sarah seems content to slog away as a waitress, while Maggie's gently directing her devoted boyfriend to the altar.

But when Eddie's flirtation with the hired help takes an unexpected turn, everything changes, leaving none of Eve's family untouched... and calling on all the strength of a mother's love.

Really enjoyed this book. Recommended.

[Denise · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed this story of Eve and her daughters. Left by their father the girls must work to deal with the consequences and make choices. A good story about strong women in the past.

An easy read and an engaging story. Somewhat spoiled for me by Eve's over reliance on too good to be true Harry.

[Ayushi Verma · Rating 3 out of 5]

It isn't what it looks like..it has lots of heartbreak and by the time you are halfway through the book you'll hate lily and when it's fully over...well probably then too so proceed with caution...

Really enjoyed this book. Got quite a way in and then didn't read any more for a while, but finally finished the last few chapters and I'm glad I did. Massive surprise at the end.

This is one of my favourite books by Lyn Andrews. I think Eve really is a brilliant mother and the way she pulls her life together in this is amazing.
