Kitty and Her Sisters

It’s 1950s Liverpool, and the War is a recent memory, although bereavements are still raw and rationing remains in force. But at the age of nineteen, Kitty McCarthy is determined not to let the past affect her future. She wants to live a life less ordinary, although she doesn’t know quite how to go about it yet.

All Kitty does know is that she doesn’t intend to get married and raise children in Liverpool, or follow in the footsteps of her older sisters – Claire, who is a mother-hen, easy-going Norah, and elegant Aileen.

Then Kitty’s resolve is tested when she finds herself with an almost impossible decision to make – and a chance meeting takes her life in a most unexpected direction .
