Hardback

Description

The first instalment in a BRAND NEW series from bestselling author Patricia McBrideWith war looming, it's a dark chapter for the Library Girls1940, LondonWhen Cordelia accepts the post of head librarian in Silver Town Library, her mother is more than a little disapproving.

The East End has high levels of poverty and illiteracy, and her mother says it’s no place for a woman of her status. But Cordelia is determined to make a difference in these times of strife, and along with her colleagues, Jane and Mavis, she begins to help the local community. And maybe even a romance will blossom, giving Cordelia the strength to make it through the chaos and destruction that constantly threatens their livelihood. Against a background of war, air raids and rationing, it becomes clear the library is more than a building filled with books - it is the beating heart of a community refusing to be torn apart. '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
