About this deal

Oh my goodness, this was such a gorgeous read! It was one of those books that truly transports you to a different place and time, I was totally swept away by this lovely story. If the pier collapsed and the lifeboat station was forced to move, 123 years of local RNLI history would be wiped out. The chemistry enjoyed by Les Dennis and Blake Harrison is phenomenal...authentic and powerful"★★★★ Islington Gazette A sad commentary on someone who clearly has no self-respecting identity beyond her tenure as mother and so selfishly indulges her own self-pity to a mildly nauseating degree. I kept hearing myself saying out loud "Oh PULLeeeese!"

Maureen is the main character that holds the soul of this novel. Her life intertwines with the other characters of the book and you cannot think of another character without thinking of her. A little girl born in poverty brings out her story on her struggles of love and family and the world war II. The war that took her father from her.

Photograph: Antonio Olmos/The Observer I was so touched by the adorable observations of a 6 year old Brenda. I just wanted to squish her with cuddles: She was born May 2 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to D.W., a city solicitor, and to June, who owned the Mountain Lake Hotel in Western Maryland where Martha and her brother spent much of their childhood. Grimes earned her B.A. and M.A. at the University of Maryland. She has taught at the University of Iowa, Frostburg State University, and Montgomery College.

Oliver Smith (29 July 2016). "The world's longest pier – in numbers". The Telegraph . Retrieved 21 August 2020. Before discussing the pier it's worth mentioning that the pier we know of today is actually the third pier to have been built in Herne Bay. Brighton 1930: Maureen O’Connell is a carefree girl, but her family is on the brink of tragedy, war is looming and life will never be the same again.It explores friendship, romance, family loyalty, faith all in a way that ensures the reader is included. The title relevance is so poignant, a beautifully sentimental book that will be enjoyed by anyone who likes to immerse themselves in a saga. It was lovely to read of a time before the distractions of the internet and social media, etc. Maureen and her family didn't have a lot, but they made the best of everything and truly cherished each other and their friends.
