Going Home. A Merseyside Childhood Remembered

A young girl’s life in wartime Liverpool — seen through the eyes of an artist. In Going Home, Jean Meyer, a gifted painter and storyteller, recalls her childhood on Merseyside during the Second World War. Through vivid memories of family, community, bomb raids, and quiet joys, she paints a nostalgic portrait of a resilient city and the people who made it home. For fans of Call the Midwife and Toast, this is a richly drawn memoir of survival, innocence, and the warmth of working-class Britain. Because even in the darkest times, home is where the light stays on.
