Summary

Timeless family drama from the best-selling author of Tuppence to Cross the Mersey. With over 3 million copies sold around the world, Helen Forrester’s heart-warming and gripping fiction set in Liverpool continues to move readers.

Looking back on his life, eight-four year-old Manuel Echaniz will never forget his youth growing up poverty-stricken and in hardship on the streets of Liverpool.

Now far away from the place that formed him, Manuel has a family who know nothing about the place he grew up.

Concerned by their lack of interest in their heritage, he sets out to teach his granddaughter about his formative years and the matriarchal community that raised him through the toughest of times.

Will she ever understand that other world he left behind in the teeming streets of the Mersey docklands?

The Liverpool Boy was previously titled The Liverpool Basque.
