THE TENTH NOVEL IN THE BESTSELLING SHIPYARD GIRLS SERIES
December 1943
As the war effort gathers steam in Europe, it's all hands on deck on the home front.
Gloria is over the moon to be reunited with her sweetheart Jack. But her sons Bobby and Gordon are away with the Navy and still know nothing of their mother's divorce and new half-sister.
Rosie's squad of welders must work gruelling hours in the yard as they prepare for the Allied invasion of Normandy. All the while Rosie herself waits anxiously for news of her husband Peter, who is carrying out dangerous work as an undercover operative in France.
Meanwhile welder Dorothy has a feeling that her beau Toby is planning to pop the question when he's next on leave. But it seems that her head is being turned by someone closer to home...
It will take great strength and friendship if the shipyard girls are to weather the storms to come.

—— Northern Echothe author is one to watch
—— SunA brilliant read
—— Take a BreakWell-drawn, believable characters combined with a storyline to keep you turning the pages
—— Woman[Grossman gives] vivid voice to each of the characters as they navigate their pain, both present and past... Grossman's 12 previous novels and five volumes of non-fiction have brought him renown on both sides of the Atlantic. This book will earn him more.
—— Economist[A] concisely devastating novel... [Grossman] has demonstrated again that the novel - elastic, expansive, amenable to painful fragmentation - can provide a space for the most harrowing and resistant material.
—— Alex Clark , GuardianNobody can see the political in the personal like David Grossman. He is an interpreter of hearts and an investigator of social forces. Every book he writes is a revelation.
—— Juan Gabriel VásquezA moving exploration of the power of love, secrets and forgiveness. A sweeping narrative rooted in a deep faith in humanity.
—— Hephzibah Anderson , Mail on SundayGrossman is surely now the greatest living Israeli writer. And his new novel, More Than I Love My Life, is arguable his best yet... what makes the book so powerful and complex is not just the daughters' refusal to forgive, but the way Grossman lets the story unfold.
—— David Herman , Jewish ChronicleA meditation on love, on memory, and on the power of storytelling.
