About This Book

Timeless romance from the best-selling author of Tuppence to Cross the Mersey. With over 3 million copies sold around the world, Helen Forrester's hard-hitting and gripping fiction set in post-war Liverpool continues to move readers.

Peggy Delaney was a Lancashire girl born and bred, beginning to live again after the heartache of the war.

Ajit Singh was a charming young Indian man — a student shortly to return home to an arranged marriage.

When Peggy and Ajit fell in love, they knew the future would not be easy. As they begin their new life, far from their homes and their families, is love enough to bring two worlds together?
