Publisher's Synopsis
It's December 1942, the fourth year of war, and German air raids have devastated south London. While their husbands and loved-ones face up to Hitler's forces in Europe and North Africa, the women of Lavender Road have their own problems to confront. Lavender Road is a perfectly ordinary London street. But in wartime, ordinary people sometimes find themselves doing extraordinary things, as nurse Molly coogan and actress Jen Carter are about to find out. Sweeping from war-torn London to occupied Italy and France, this is bestselling British author Helen Carey's most ambitious novel yet.
