Liverpool Sisters Books in Order

The Liverpool Sisters series gathers three linked wartime sagas set in and around Liverpool. Each book can stand alone, but together they trace how three young women step out of cramped beginnings into the wider world of service life, friendship and first love.

In Liverpool Daughter, Dana Quinn grows up in a proud Irish‑Liverpool family just as the Luftwaffe begin their raids on the city. When her parents decide to retreat to the safety of Ireland, Dana refuses to go. Determined to do her bit, she joins the WAAF and finds herself on a remote RAF station with new friends Patty and Lucy, juggling night shifts, air‑raid sirens and the excitement and risk of falling in love.

Under the Mistletoe turns the spotlight on Jessica Wilson and Ruby, best friends brought up in an orphanage. War gives them a rare chance at independence when they bluff their way into jobs with the NAAFI. For the first time they earn their own money and spend evenings enjoying the dance halls and cinemas of Liverpool. Jessica’s romance with handsome Tom feels like the happy ending she never thought she’d have—until small clues make her question who she really is and what happened the night she was born.

The third novel, Over the Rainbow, follows Olivia Campbell, a young woman who seems to have everything but lives in fear of her domineering father. When war comes in 1939, Olivia grabs the chance to escape by joining the WAAF. Training, new roommate Maude and the sheer rush of making her own decisions are intoxicating. Falling for charming Ralph makes the future look bright, until Ted, the boy she once loved, returns with news that shatters her easy assumptions.

Across the trilogy you meet airmen, ground crew, NAAFI girls and landladies, but the emotional core is always the friendships between the women. They share cramped billets, bad meals and borrowed lipstick, nurse each other through grief and disappointment, and step up when one of them is in trouble.

The series balances romance with the everyday texture of wartime: night shifts on the phones, letters that go astray, the weariness of travel and the way a single telegram can change a life. Liverpool itself remains a touchstone, whether the characters are on a windswept airfield or back in the courts and shops of home.

You can read the books in any order, but following them from Liverpool Daughter through Under the Mistletoe to Over the Rainbow lets you see the war years from several angles and notice small echoes and cross‑overs between the stories.
