A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

They'd give up everything to dance on stage, but could they lose each other?
London's East End, 1934. Eighteen-year-old twins Marie and Vesta Haskins work at the local shoe factory to bring in a few pennies for the family, but they've never given up on their dream of treading the boards in the West End. When a brand new East End club opens its doors, the girls audition for the show and are over the moon to land two nights a week with their cabaret act. But little do they realise that the villainous Scoresby brothers are using the club as a front for a very different line of business.
Seeing what is going on behind the smoke and lights of the stage, sensible Marie vows to leave her job at the club before it is too late, but headstrong Vesta has fallen for the Scoresby's handsome right-hand man, Teddy, and unwittingly leads her whole family into the Scoresby's clutches. Will Marie be able to save her family from disaster? Or will Vesta's determination to become a star tear the Haskins family apart?
For fans of Dilly Court and Katie Flynn comes a riveting tale of the conflicts that come when chasing your dreams becomes more important than cherishing your family.
[Pack shot of EAST END ANGEL and IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER]

Quatrième de couverture

Vesta and Marie's legs were shaking as they made their way over. They stood in front of the club owner and tried not to breathe in the pungent smoke of his cigar.
'This a cabaret club, girls, ain't you sussed that yet?' barked Wally Scoresby. 'The Duke's is for grown-ups, not kids. Our audience looks for a bit of class on their evening out on the town. You can sing, I'll grant you. But those numbers would go down well at a Sally Army
Christmas dinner! Now, I'll give you one more chance. Sing something I can recognize.'
