Ruby O'Hagan was born after an affair between a nurse and an injured American soldier during the Great War. Brought up in a convent, at fourteen Ruby is chosen to be a lady's companion in a grand house near Liverpool. But this new life is not to last and before long Ruby finds herself in the slums of Liverpool, alone with two children to support. Then, with the outbreak of the Second World War, Ruby's life takes a dramatic new turn when she is asked to look after a large house. The house becomes a refuge not just for Ruby and her family, but for many others, as loves, triumphs, sorrows and friendships are played out in the House by Princes Park. THE HOUSE BY PRINCES PARK is a powerful novel of hardship, heartbreak, passion and, above all, the inner strength of a remarkable woman.
I loved this book, the general jist is that you follow the life of a lady called Ruby, you almost become a part of her family as you watch it grow and experience the happiness and heartache that they all face throughout the war and right up to the Millenium.
