If you love Katie Flynn and Pam Howes, you'll love Chrissie Walsh's WWI story of love, loss and triumph!

July, 1916

Kitty and Tom Conlon arrive in Liverpool in July 1916 to claim the house Tom’s great-uncle has bequeathed him in his will. The move to England couldn’t have come at a better time. Dublin is in turmoil following the Easter Uprising and Kitty’s brother is now in prison.

The house in Weaver Street is all they hoped for, and after a shaky start with her new neighbours, Kitty believes the world is her oyster. Until that is, Tom is conscripted into the navy.

With Tom away, it’s up to Kitty and the women of Weaver Street to get each other through the war.

Welcome to Weaver Street is the start of a sweeping saga series that will tug on your heart strings and give you hope. If you enjoy Lyn Andrew, Katie Flynn and Pam Howes, you'll love Chrissie Walsh!

When I read series books like this one, I'm expecting a somewhat predictable experience, which is part of the comfort appeal. In the case of Weaver Street, I enjoyed the fact that the heart of story was the friendship of three very different women. Unfortunately, the author was very careless about historical research (as was her editor), resulting in some grating anachronisms. Most of these gaffes involved plugging in some popular culture features of WWII into a WWI (& 1920s) setting: Spam, "Make Do & Mend," etc--all introduced to England in the 1940s. And when one woman referred to another as "uptight," I thought I was back in the 60s (though apparently the expression was first coined in the mid-thirties by an American novelist). Am I being nit-picking? Perhaps. but with research just a keystroke away these days, errors such as these are just plain lazy, giving the impression that Ms. Welsh was phoning in a formulaic wartime novel without caring much which war. I still enjoyed aspects of the book, but had more care been taken, it would have been decidedly better.
