Excellent
The entire series is simply excellent! Well written and, equally important, VERY well narrated.
I came upon this series while following Georgia Maguire. For those of you avid listeners and fans of multiple casts, there is no one like Miss Maguire. Her excellent reading skills and uncanny talent to change accents, dialects, voices, etc. is by far the best i've ever listened to.
Now, for this series...it has all you want and expect in a family saga. It is a story of a family who faces love, happiness, sadness, tragedy and much more.
I fell in Love with Dora and Joe and I would have liked for book 3 to continue thier saga and not concentrate it on their girls. I think those of us who love this series would enjoy a trilogy on the girls and thier families.
I recommend this trilogy. I will listen to it again and again.

Not a fan of Dora
i have listened to The Lost Daughter , The Lost Family and now this. Dora has some qualities that are okay but in my opinion she has no forgiveness for a man who truly loves her. Then there are her daughters, she is head over heels for her younger daughter Jackie but her older daughter, Carol, she doesnt seem to care about as she does Jackie. im just really irked with this character.
im editing this because i reviewed it beforw I finished this book in the series. Dora was a little better towards Carol in this book but Jackie makes me want to turn her over my knee and give her a good one. Yes, Carol made some stupid mistakes but everyone screws up at some point in their lives and poor Carol didnt have the best upbringing from her mother. I thought this was a story of a family unit comprised of mom dad carol and jackie but it seems like it was a story of mom and jackie with bits of dad and even lesser bits of Carol. im fully disgusted.

Loved The Trilogy
But, I’m hoping that wasn’t the end. I gave it 5 stars because I’m giving Pam Howes the benefit of the doubt.
She’s too good of an author for that abrupt ending

I really enjoyed this series of books which I read in succession.Beautifully narrated by Georgia Maguire. The characters draw you in from the start and hold your interest throughout.I have given four stars simply because after all the traumas of the families, I felt the end was rushed a bit,but I recommend these books despite that and will definitely read this author's work again.

Brilliantly written - the characters became like family
I have read the previous “Liverpool” books and absolutely loved them. I was worried this third one may not follow on from the previous story with such smashing characters but of course it did and simply followed on, albeit 10 years or so later..
Georgie is absolutely brilliant with her accents and made each person really come to life. I feel as if I know them all.
Now I am hoping there with be a fourth book.
