Publisher's 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 Look Back to the 1950s

This is a story of District Nurses of Lark Lane in 1955 Liverpool. We follow two cadet nurses: Cathy who is worried about her mother who is abused by her alcoholic husband and Gianni who wants to get married, but nursing students of the 1950 were not allowed to be married.

The book is well written and is a fast-easy read. We follow the lives of the nurses. Howes does a good job in building the characters. I started on book 3 in the series but had no problem following what was going on. This makes a good get-away-from-it-all book.

The book is nine hours and thirty- three minutes. Georgia McGuire does a good job narrating the book. McGuire is an actress, voice artist and audiobook narrator. She was a finalist for a 2018 Audie Award for Best Narration.
