Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

Liverpool 1872

Arriving back in her hometown after spending some time training at the Infirmary for Women in New York, Maud can't wait to put her new-found skills to the test. But in a city built and run by men she must work hard to be accepted.

Whilst her nurse friends welcome her back with open arms there are others who do not wish her well, including the spiteful Nancy Sellers.

Nancy resented Maud's talents as a nurse and seeing her arrive back with such fanfare puts her nose firmly out of joint. She will stop at nothing to sabotage Maud's life and soon turns her attention to those Maud holds most dear.

But Maud Linklater is made of strong stuff and together with her friends, Alice and Eddie, can she overcome any obstacle Nancy, and Liverpool, might throw her way?

Goodreads review by Richard on March 12, 2020

Kate Eastham “Coming Home to Liverpool.” “Coming Home to Liverpool,” stands alone, but I suspect it would be better for it to be read as part of the whole series. Heart-warming stories of hardship, disease and injury being overcome through the exemplary dedication of Maud Linklater make the book a co......more
