Sinopsis
A heart-warming and nostalgic family saga set at the heart of wartime London at Christmas, from the bestselling author of A Wartime Christmas. Perfect for fans of Sheila Newberry and Rosie Goodwin
Surely one of the best saga writers of her time – Rosie Clarke
THIS CHRISTMAS, SHELL FIGHT TO KEEP HER FAMILY TOGETHER
1919. Two months after the Armistice that ended the Great War, life in Londons East End is slowly returning to normal. But for 25-year-old Birdie Connor, the battle is only just beginning . . .
Frank, Birdies older brother, has been sent to prison for deserting his army post whilst fighting in Belgium, and the shame heaped on the Connor family by their neighbours is unrelenting. Wilfred, Birdies widowed father, has disowned Frank and vows that he will never set eyes on his son again, but Birdie cannot believe that her brother is guilty
When Frank escapes from prison and comes to find Birdie in secret, she promises to help him and is determined to prove his innocence. But little does she realise that she is exposing herself to danger as Frank gets himself deeper and deeper into trouble.
Helped by the Connors lodger, the handsome Harry Chambers, will Birdie be able to find the proof that Frank needs in time to reconcile him to their frail father before it is too late? And can she build a future to keep herself and her younger brother, Patrick, safe?
