Liverpool September 1948


Turmoil threatens when a Jewish girl falls in love with an Irish Catholic


When seventeen-year-old Talia Cohen discovers the guy she fancies is not only her best friend’s brother, but a twenty-two-year-old Irish Catholic, the magnetism is too strong to deter her, despite the havoc it will cause both families.


Pledged to a boy of her own faith, she stands up to her parents and fights for the right to choose her own husband, of any age and any religion. But can she also go up against a widowed mother who insists her only son weds a nice Irish girl?


With love on one side and family loyalty on the other, how much is Talia willing to risk for the man of her dreams?

Perfect for fans of heartfelt, rebellious post-war romance.
