And a
Nightingale Sang
by C P Taylor

May 2005

Set in Newcastle, this is the story of the Stotts, an eccentric family waging their personal battles against the terrifying backdrop of Britain during WW2. Amidst the air raid sirens and fears of poison gas, Mam frets about church bombings.... Dad spouts communism while pounding the piano... Grandpa mourns his dead whippet... daughters Joyce and Helen grasp fervently at the joys, frustrations and heartbreaks of first love.
