Synopsis

Lizzie Flowers has had a hard life but she is still full of true East End grit. In the bleak years after World War I her family faced desperate times and deep tensions split them apart, but when barrow-boy Danny Flowers asked her to leave for a better life in Australia, she stayed true to her family's roots. She married Danny's brother Frank instead, a decision she came to bitterly regret.

It is Frank's death, and her great success running the Flowers greengrocer's, that gives Lizzie independence at last. She has plans to expand the business. She has the East End community around her. And Danny has come back to marry her at last.

But as their wedding day dawns, an unwelcome guest arrives and Lizzie's life will never be the same again.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

It was a sunny winter's morning and ladders of gold streamed in through the registry office windows. It was also the last Wednesday before Christmas and Lizzie rejoiced in the fact that at last, in her twenty-seventh year, she would be married to the love of her life, Danny Flowers.
Lizzie looked into Danny's clear blue eyes, at his handsome, weather-beaten face. A jagged scar on his forehead was still visible, the handiwork of her late husband, Frank, Danny's older brother. The violence he had been capable of still made her shiver.
Uncannily, a door ground open at the back of the room and her mother's words flashed into mind: 'Someone's just walked over my grave, Lizzie, girl. The hairs on my neck are standing on end.'
