Something in My Heart (novel)

Something in My Heart is a 1944 novel by the British writer Walter Greenwood.

It is a loose sequel to his debut and best-known novel Love on the Dole, a 1933 work set in Salford at the height of the Great Depression.

[1] This book presented a more optimistic view of a potential postwar future that was absent in the despair in the original novel.

The story opens in 1937 with Helen Oakroyd working in a textile mill while her two friends Harry and Taffy are both on the dole.

When war breaks out with Nazi Germany in 1939 both enlist in the RAF.
