    About this series

    A stunning new short story from Sunday Times bestseller Nadine Dorries.
    1950s Liverpool.

    Christmas is one of the most harrowing times of year for the nurses of St Angelus Hospital.

    The Matron takes on Tilly, a new clerk, to ease the load in the busy festive period. Tilly is bright and hard-working, but she is keeping a secret from her colleagues. Everyday Tilly makes a heartbreaking decision – but she has no other choice.

    If Matron – with her traditional values and strict discipline – learnt the truth about her new clerk, Tilly's career would be ruined.

    Could Matron ever forgive the deceit?

Bronia Ryan has battled depression since her husband died and now one of her sons is in prison. Her youngest, Lorcan, wants no part of a life of crime, but how can he ever escape? Or protect his mother from her vicious eldest son? As usual, St Angelus is at the heart of things. Life and death, love and loss, jealousies, rivalries and betrayals are woven into a rich tapestry in Nadine's great series about poverty, sacrifice and community spirit in post-war Liverpool and the early days of the NHS.
