Publisher's Summary:
Liz MacMillan has wanted to be a nurse ever since her baby brother died of scarlet fever but her domineering father won't allow it. With the outbreak of war, nursing becomes a patriotic duty and Liz gets her chance, together with her new friend Helen Gallagher, whose large, Irish-Catholic family provides a striking contract to the constraint of the MacMillan household.
Working in Glasgow's Western Infirmary, one of the other students, Mario Rossi, touches Liz's heart. She is devastated when he is deported as an "enemy alien" and longs for the peace that will bring about his return.
Members Reviews:
Maggie Craig is a wonderful writer.
Maggie Craig writes with great flair, colour and verve and she is on top form with her entrancing and enjoyable saga set in Glasgow during the Second World War, When the Lights Come On Again.
Becoming a nurse is one of Liz MacMillanâs most cherished dreams, however, she is well aware that making this dream a reality would be nothing short of a miracle. With her domineering father having made it perfectly clear that he does not want his daughter to follow this path, Liz had resigned herself to acquiescing to her parentâs will and becoming a shorthand typist instead. But when war is declared and Liz finds herself compelled to do her patriotic duty, her dream to become a nurse is finally within her reach.
At Glasgowâs Western Infirmary, Liz might be working her fingers to the bone and end up collapsing in an exhausted heap every night, but she wouldnât have it any other way. Although the hours are long and the work is tough, Liz is reveling in the new friendships she is making and relishing the freedom and independence which her job as a trainee nurse has bestowed upon her. Being part of a close knit group of nurses and medical students also enables her to make plenty of new acquaintances â and to fall head over heels in loveâ
Liz is immediately dazzled by handsome Glaswegian-Italian Mario Rossi. With his dashing good looks and charismatic personality, Liz simply cannot seem to stop herself from falling in love with him. However, when Mario is interned as an enemy alien, Liz finds herself crushed, heartbroken and absolutely devastated. In desperate need of a shoulder to cry, she quickly finds comfort and solace in her friendship with steadfast Adam Buchanan. Together, the two friends share confidences and experience the pain, anguish and sheer terror of a world torn apart by war.
Liz has made a new life for herself after her heartbreak over Mario, but when he returns she begins to wonder whether he truly is the man for herâ.or whether her heart now belongs to somebody else.
Maggie Craig is a terrific storyteller who certainly knows how to keep her readers turning the pages and When the Lights Come On Again is a fantastic tale full of searing emotion, nail-biting drama and poignant romance.
