OverviewAs the war reaches London, they’ll band together…War strikes close to home for chief librarian Cordelia when her flat is bombed, and her beloved Robert is called up and sent abroad. Fortunately, her colleagues Mavis and Jane can help see her through hard times. The three friends find purpose in making the Silvertown library a friendly sanctuary for their deprived and devastated community. But sinister forces, from callous bureaucrats to crafty criminals, still lurk among the stacks. Worse, Jane’s soldier husband is injured and suffers both physically and mentally. With so many struggles Cordelia and her friends might need more than books to survive war's shadow. Can they find light in the darkness? A captivating tale of resilience and determination, perfect for fans of Lizzie Lane, Elaine Roberts and Lesley Eames. 'a compelling story of friendships and the hardships of war, with excellent sketches of the East End. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend.' Rosie Clarke 'I was hooked from page one. Rich in historical detail and with characters you feel you know... Highly recommended!' Lynette Rees 'A brilliant read - the sort of book you can immerse yourself in completely ... You couldn’t read the story without it reaching your heart, or without wanting to know what will become of these women' Fran Smith Full Product DetailsAuthor: Patricia McBride , Julie Maisey (Narrator)Publisher: Boldwood Books Ltd Imprint: Boldwood Books Ltd ISBN: 9781835180099ISBN 10: 1835180094 Pages: 226 Publication Date: 19 April 2024 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
