London Calling

Autor Helen Carey
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 dec 2016
LONDON CALLING is a poignant, warm-hearted and engaging saga of Clapham, south London's women during the Second World War, for readers of Kate Thompson, Annie Murray and Katie Flynn.

It will take more than Hitler's Luftwaffe to break the spirit of the residents of Lavender Road. If courage and resilience could win wars, the conflict would already be over.

It's not all harmony, though. Nurse Molly Coogan and would-be actress Jen Carter certainly don't see eye to eye. Molly, despite hating the discipline of wartime hospital life, is unimpressed by Jen's prima donna ways. Jen, unaware of Molly's secret heartache, can't resist taking her own frustrations out on Molly. It's just as well that no one knows what challenges lie ahead...

From stolen glasses in the Flag and Garter to fancy dinners in the heart of the West End, from a desperate battle for survival on a hospital ward to a torpedo hitting its target in the Mediterranean Sea, LONDON CALLING takes readers into a world of ordinary people living extraordinary lives.

Recenzii

Praise for Helen Carey's Lavender Road novels

'Written with a lightness of touch, an emotional integrity and an historical accuracy which has brought her respect from critics and readers alike

Sparkling storytelling
Having read and re-read her previous books, I've been awaiting this new Helen Carey novel for a good long while and am thrilled to say that the wait was ( more than) well worth it... All the hallmarks of novel writing at its very best - strong characters, wonderful plot lines, thorough research and vivid imagination
The emotions and behaviours of the characters are realistically represented and the reader is quickly drawn to wanting to follow the drama and discover the outcome. Hope we don't have to wait as long for the next one... I want to know what happens next!
What a great read! I really loved this book and found it hard to put down! I found the book exciting, funny and touching. I can't recommend it enough.
1942 is drawing to a close. German air raids have devastated south London. While their menfolk face up to Hitler's forces in Europe and North Africa, the women of Lavender Road have their own battles to fight.

Nurse Molly Coogan
is keen to do her bit, but first she needs to escape from the oppressive discipline of hospital life. And from her dangerous attraction to an unobtainable man.

Jen Carter is convinced she's got what it takes to become an actress. But will she have to use more than her acting talents to get that lucky break?

Jen's mother Joyce has always had to scrimp and save while bringing up her large family. Now, as food shortages deepen, she's amazed to find her advice in public demand.

As the neighbourhood celebrates Christmas, no one can guess what new friendships, foreign adventures or romantic surprises are around the corner.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll want to stay on Lavender Road till the bittersweet end.
