Publisher's Summary
Christmas may be the season of goodwill and festive cheer, but not for the poor of 1950s Liverpool. And for St Angelus Hospital in Lovely Lane, it is frantically busy. There are the old, the dying, the children and the emergencies.
The nurses, known locally as the Angels of Lovely Lane, are run off their feet. Dana, Beth, Pammy and Victoria hardly have time to catch their breath, let alone have a Christmas of their own.

Nearly but not quite 5 stars across the board
Though I thoroughly enjoyed this book and although not stated to be part of the Three book Lovely Lane series it clearly was connected as most of the usual characters were there and there was mention of those that weren’t. Just one very small flaw and that was no follow-up or mention at all of Beth Harper’s boyfriend Oliver Gaskell. Pammy Tanner’s and Emily Haycock’s stories were continued so this was an obvious missing part if you’d listened to all 3 of the other books but for this I would otherwise have given the story 5 stars
