A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

DOWN STEPNEY WAY

Emotions are running high in the East End with Blackshirts marching through the streets and the Jewish community under threat of violence. In Bethnal Green, Emmie is giving love and support to Hannah Blake, who is being forced by her cold-hearted mother to join the Blackshirts, despite her deep misgivings. Emmie is aware of the darkness surrounding Hannah's wretched past, but is bound by a vow of silence not to tell . . .

DOCKER'S DAUGHTER

Kay Armstrong breaks away from her tough East End background where her friends are turning to crime and gets work in the City. Her new friends introduce her to a different scene: the glamour of fashionable restaurants and the pleasures of drinking. But then Kay goes too far and plans a holiday that involves forging a passport. While she is in trouble with the law, the attractive Romany Zacchi reappears and Kay has some hard choices to make . . .
