'Surely one of the best saga writers of her time' - Rosie Clarke
WHILE THE NATION CELEBRATES, IS HER WHOLE WORLD ABOUT TO FALL APART?
June 2nd, 1953. The residents of Ruby Street in London's East End are celebrating the new Queen's coronation. It's a day of joy and a new beginning for a nation still suffering the aftermath of the Blitz. But for Rose Weaver, it's a day that will change her life forever . . .
When her husband Eddie is arrested on suspicion of theft, Rose uncovers disturbing truths about the man she married eight years ago, the man she thought she knew so well. As she struggles to provide for herself and two daughters, Rose realises that she'll need the help of family, friends and the good neighbours of Ruby Street to pull her through.
But when a handsome salesman knocks at her door, will she be able to resist temptation?
