As a Stockport girl myself, I really enjoyed this book. It’s easy reading but a bit heavy going at times, but I loved reading about the places I know so well. I lived in Davenport for 4 years & shopped regularly in Edgeley, happy memories! I knew nothing of the history of the Italians & the Guernsey folk & found this really interesting. Nit-picking - they couldn’t have visited Lyme Park in 1944, it only opened to the public in 1947. How do I know? My mother went to the sale of the house contents when the family left. Doesn’t spoil the book though, give it a try.
