A sweeping East End saga from Sally Worboyes featuring familiar characters from Time Will Tell and Jamaica Street.
'She brings the East End to life' Barbara Windsor
In the late summer of 1952, amidst the turmoil of people moving out of their war-damaged homes, Edie Birch and her only child Maggie must say a sad farewell to old friends and neighbours.
A new start is always daunting but helped along by the enthusiasm of her flamboyant Aunt Naomi, new friendships are forged and a brighter life begins for Edie. She even meets a new man.
Outside of her happy orbit, however, a dark secret threatens to destroy her world. Aunt Naomi and her not-so-law-abiding friends must join forces to shield Edie. But can they stop the cruel hand of fate from delivering a blow which could expose the shameful truth?
A compelling and heartbreaking family for fans of Nadine Dorries, Kitty Neale and Katie Flynn.
