An enjoyable read. Probably my favourite book by Lyn Andrews.
This book has a simple premise, next door neighbours, one Catholic one protestant, an unlikely friendship between two teenage girls that has to be kept secret.
Celia and Lizzy both fall for each other's brothers and many complications ensue.
Really good characters, in fact that's what makes this book brilliant.

I’m so happy I persevered with this book. It’s a wonderful tale of war in the guise of religion & the love and strength they needed to overcome their many troubles.

Typical Lynn Andrews story set in a prewar slum area of Liverpool. The characters are well built and the story put together in an interesting and enjoyable way.
