What to expect

It is 1946 in Birmingham: the Second World War is over and three young women face a new kind of life. But peacetime brings its own pressures . . .

Read by Penelope Freeman (Her Wartime Secret)

Katie O'Neill's childhood has been dominated by her temperamental mother and by frightening secrets that she barely understands. Innocent, yet hungry for love, she is easily taken in by male charm and is left outcast and alone with her young son.

Emma Brown has spent the war at home in Birmingham, longing for her husband Norm to return and meet the son he has never seen. But she soon finds that the joy of homecoming only brings a whole new set of problems.

And Molly Fox, after a sad and brutal childhood, found a place to belong during the war, in the women's army, the ATS. Now, the women are no longer wanted and Molly finds peacetime a bleak, difficult challenge. Finding work in guesthouses and holiday camps, she keeps running from herself, in search of a place she can call home.

All the Days of Our Lives reunites the three girls from A Hopscotch Summer and Soldier Girl who first meet in a 1930s Birmingham classroom. Now adults, each of them faces life with all its joys, sorrows and surprises.

'I've become an Annie Murray fan and Penelope Freeman does this book justice as its narrator'

'what a beautiful end to a great saga. couldn't stop listening!'
