Heart warming

I brought this book to while away a rainy afternoon, however from the first chapter I was unable to put the book down. The story is about Lizzie and her cousin who come over from Ireland as teenagers just before the second world war. They meet their future husbands, have children and settle down to married life. When the war comes, Lizzie's cousin heads back to Ireland and her husband is sent overseas. She is left in the UK with her children and makes good friends with the neighbours in her area. However one night Lizzie is attacked and it changes her life forever. She is forced back to Ireland and due to circumstances is forced to abandon her children for 12 months. This story is heart wrenching especially as you see the knock on effect the attack has on Lizzie and her family.
