OverviewLiverpool. January 1871 One Man. One Woman. One Choice? Life hasn't been easy for Nell. Orphaned as a child, her elder sister Maria is a substitute for the mother she barely remembers. All she wants now is a husband and family of her own. Second mate Jack Riley loves his life at sea and dreams of one day captaining his own ship. Settling down to life in the back streets of Liverpool holds no appeal. Until he bumps into his old flame, Nell. She wants security and a husband who'll come home each night. But the call of the sea is strong. Can Jack abandon his plans and give her the life she craves? Based on a true story, The Sailor's Promise is an introductory novella to The Windsor Street Family Saga. A story of love, loss and hope set in Victorian-era Liverpool and beyond.

I love her books, a little escape to the past. So realistic! The author Val is so masterful at going between fact and fiction. And it is so neat that it is based on her own family. As an amateur genealogist that is so fascinating to me. Can't wait to read the next book in the series. I highly recommend these books and this author! They are superb. Very enjoyable could not put it down loved it, look forward to reading more books by this author very soon I hadn't read any of VL McBeath's books. So I was delighted I did. It was a lovely book and story. I look forward to reading more. Thank you. I really enjoyed this book, you get to know and understand how hard it was to live in these times. I'm looking forward to reading the next book which I'll start now. Such a sweet story! The descriptions and characters are understandable and easy to follow. Nell and Jack are a unique couple. It's great to see ordinary people with ordinary problems and how they coped during a different era. Everyday life was hard. Being married to or in a relationship with a sailor/merchant seaman/ any military personnel is just as hard today, even with all our electronics. I'm looking forward to reading more about Nell and Jack and the rest on Windsor Street! Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
