À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The Chatterton family was posh, everyone could see that - far too posh for Scotland Road, the Liverpool slum area where they had ended up. Nancy Butterworth and Abbie Kerrigan, lifelong residents of the place, tried to befriend Dee Chatterton, but Dee's snobbish and sick mother wanted her family to have nothing to do with the rough street children. Mr Chatterton, meanwhile, weighed down with the worry and shame of having lost all his money, tried ineffectually to get together a home, and was not too proud to accept help from plump, good-hearted Bridie Butterworth and her neighbours. In the corner shop the Burgess family looked forward with excitement and trepidation to the arrival of their young cousin Sean from Dublin, and Nancy was not the only girl to lose her heart, and much else besides, to the Irish charmer.

But with the arrival of 1914 things were to change dramatically for the inhabitants of this poor but closely-knit community. And the Chattertons, the Butterworths, the Kerrigans and the Burgesses found that money and social position meant little when the horrors of the First World War invaded their lives and took away their sons.
