After the War Is Over

A heartwarming tale of womens' friendships set in Liverpool and London during the post-war years

In 1945 Liverpool, three women who are the strongest of friends return home, trying to fit back into their old lives after they've been demobilized. The were thrown together by the war and shared all sorts of good and bad times; and now their old lives seem dull in comparison—but not for long. Maggie and Nell are both 21 and full of hope and excitement. Iris, on the other hand, is feeling apprehensive about returning to civilian life. At the age of 30, her only wish is to have a baby, but sadly this wish is yet to come true. When one of the women falls pregnant, there begins a dramatic sequence of events so wide-reaching that the three friends' lives will become more intricately woven than they could imagine. Over the next quarter of a century the story of these remarkable, and very different, women unfolds into an uplifting tale of how three ordinary families become extraordinary.
