Free (Kindle/Kobo/iTunes) The Mersey Daughter [WWII Liverpool Family Saga w/Romance]

[ATDrake]

The Mersey Daughter by Annie Groves (HarperCollins “author” profile), apparently a franchise creation spun off from a penname of the late bestselling British author Penny Jordan (Wikipedia), now ghost-written by Jenny Shaw, is the 3rd novel in her Mersey series of historical personal drama/family saga novels with f/m romantic elements set in Liverpool during WWII, this installment focusing on two women who will probably soon be related: one abandoned by a good-for-nothing husband but comforted by the letters of her childhood sweetheart, and the other said sweetheart's sister, who has just joined the WRENS and is discovering a whole new world before her, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher HarperCollins's uncollinated Harper imprint.

Apparently this is being made free to promote the upcoming 5th novel, due in October, and it seems that the entire series is itself a continuation of another series by the original author.

Currently free @ Amazon UK & iTunes UK & Google Play & Kobo (available to UK and Japan (via iTunes) when I spot-checked assorted regional stores, YMMV)

Her future is full of uncertainty and the only thing that keeps her going is knowing that her children are safe from the Luftwaffe – and the letters that she receives from Jack Callaghan, her childhood sweetheart – but a life together can is just a distant fantasy.

Meanwhile, Kitty Callaghan has joined the WRENS and it’s opened up a whole new world. But despite finding romance with a handsome doctor, she still can’t forget Frank Feeny, the brave officer from Empire Street who still inhabits her dreams.
