Set in the aftermath of World War II, Elizabeth Morton' s Angel of Liverpool is a gritty and emotionally compelling historical saga from an author who was born and bred in Liverpool. Her mother called her Angel but now she' s a fallen woman . . . There are different opinions as to what happened to Evangeline O' Leary' s mother. Her younger sisters believe the story that she' s in heaven. But Evie has heard the gossips - that her ma upped and left with the man she had an affair with while Evie' s dad was fighting in the war. As the eldest, Evie has become ' mum' to her three siblings, all while holding down a job at the Tate & Lyle Sugar Factory. But when her childhood sweetheart leaves for Canada, he leaves Evie with more than just a broken heart. Her father agrees to keep the pregnancy a secret but is determined to marry her off to the first hapless fellow who' ll have her. Evie doesn' t want a loveless marriage like her parents, but how long can she keep her baby a secret from her neighbours and the nuns who run the local home for unmarried mothers . . . ?
