Review "Americans raised on Happy Days will find a fresh perspective on the 1950's courtesy of Francis latest novel" - Booklist Product Description From one of the genre's best-loved names, an enthralling historical saga set in 1950s Liverpool.Liverpool, 1954 Young Jeanette Walker often wonders what became of her mother who disappeared without trace during a wartime bombing raid thirteen years before. Was she killed outright, or did she run off with another man, as tyrannical Great Aunt Ethel insists? Embarking on a dual mission to find out what really happened to her mother and to track down the handsome stranger who came to her rescue, Jean is little prepared for the hornets; nest of family secrets and lies that her investigations will stir up. From Booklist Americans raised on Happy Days will find a fresh perspective on the 1950s courtesy of Francis latest novel, which is set in her hometown of Liverpool. Still emerging from WWII and its austerity measures and privation, the British are less innocent and more tentative than their Yankee counterparts. The Walker family-father George, teenage Jeanette, and her older half-siblings Hester and Sam-are haunted by the disappearance of Jeanettes mother, Grace, presumed killed in a bombing. The young adults of the household are bullied by Georges aunt, Ethel, who rules with an acid tongue and cruel punishments, though she comes across as less fearsome than Francis likely intended. Danger and romance seemingly lurk around every corner, as Jeanette gets mixed up with a rough crowd and Hester is taken in by a lothario. Francis makes some questionable plot decisions, particularly involving an assault on Hester, yet signals a growing sense of hope by suitably pairing off each Walker child, and saving a whopping revelation about Jeanettes mother for the very end. --Patty Wetli Review "An easy read that can be devoured in one sitting" - Booklist on Walking Back to Happiness.
