Why a Booktrail?
1950s: It’s Christmas at the St Angelus Hospital
Christmas Angels
What you need to know before your trail
Christmas may be the season of goodwill, festive cheer and family cheer for some but not for the poor of 1950s Liverpool. And for St Angelus Hospital in Lovely Lane, it is frantically busy. There are the old, the dying, the children and the emergencies. The nurses, known locally as the Angels of Lovely Lane, are run off their feet. Dana, Beth, Pammy and Victoria hardly have time to catch their breath, let alone have a Christmas of their own.
Gripping, gritty, moving, and often humorous too, this is vintage Nadine, a story from the heart of a writer who knows exactly what it is like to be a nurse in a big hospital at Christmas.

This wonderful series is set in and around the fictional St Angelus hospital. The time is the 1950s and it’s a tough times for the nurses and patients.
In 1950s Liverpool, five very different girls begin their training at St Angelus Hospital, in Lovely Lane. The nurses are known locally as the Angels. They are Dana, Victoria, Beth, Celia and Pammy, and at St Angelus they learn quickly about life – the ups and downs and everything in between.
The books provide a rich tapestry about poverty, sacrifice, and community spirit, set in post-war Liverpool in the early days of the NHS.
