When Christmas Bells Ring by Katie Flynn Reviewed by Jan SpeedieKatie Flynn has so many successful titles already but we must add this gentle readable story to her successful list.

The story starts in 1938 in Liverpool. Rosheen Clarke and her lively, strong willed twin daughters have no idea how their world is going to change with the advent of war.

After war is declared the twins are evacuated to Wales. The prospect of living in the countryside does not appeal to them.

Rosheen joins the WAAF and meets a fellow Liverpudlian Cassie Valentine.  The two become firm friends and support each other through – trouble with the twins, the bombing of Liverpool and Cassie fighting her love for a childhood friend Andy.

When peace is declared in 1945, Rosheen, Cassie and the twins are all changed by the events that have happened in their lives – hopefully all to their good.

Read and enjoy this well presented tale of life during World War 2.

Katie Flynn lives in the north-west of England.   Her short stories were often broadcast on Radio Merseyside. Hearing her family reminiscing about life in Liverpool in the early twentieth century she was prompted to write her Liverpool series. Katie has always loved to write and continues to although she has had to cope with ME for the past few years.
