A gritty tale of family and a love that holds no bounds, from the best-selling author of Nobody’s Girl and A Father’s Revenge

If you're coming to Coles by car, why not take advantage of the 2 hours free parking at Sainsbury's Pioneer Square - just follow the signs for Pioneer Square as you drive into Bicester and park in the multi-storey car park above the supermarket. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. You don't need to shop in Sainsbury's to get the free parking! Where to Find Us A story about poverty and resilience set in the 1950s London. I enjoyed the vivid and realistic descriptions of the setting and the deep love between Sarah and her brother, Tommy. Even as a child, Kitty had an incredible imagination. She was always telling her friends and family stories some of which were quite horrific; though, to her family, they were more of a source of amusement than a cause for concern.

Craving affection, Constance falls into the arms of Albie Jones, the cook’s grandson. But one fateful encounter leaves her ashamed and pregnant, and she is soon shunned from the family home. Her neighbours Mo and Samuel. Look after Tommy whilst Sarah works at the local store with Lara, George's mum. Jennifer Lavender never felt like she belonged. She was always working so hard to earn her parent’s love and attention but nothing she did felt like it was ever enough. Like the rest of London, locals at the Battersea Tavern are being terrorized night and day by the dreaded German Doodlebugs. Winnie Berry, landlady and surrogate mum to so many, has more on her plate than ever before. There's something her daughter Jan just won't tell her. Local bobby and old friend Tommy is happy to lend a listening ear but does he want to be something more to Win too?

As Jeremy’s dangerous obsession grows, Amy must fight for her marriage and her baby. Will she and Thomas ever find the happiness they long for? From the get go I couldn't put down this book, the beginning has a dark and forboding feel to it that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Kitty Neale's writing style is fast paced and keeps the reader interested. Even though Kitty knew that she enjoyed telling stories, it wasn’t until she arrived at Tennyson Street Secondary school that the notion of pursuing a career in writing and publishing finally took root in her mind. This was a great story from start to finish with lots of twists to the storyline, well written and nicely descriptive. Bessie has taken on Nora Dobbs, a young woman and she asks Pearl to take over her care when dies. Pearl, thinking that Bessie will recover from her illness and live for many more years, agrees, but less than a week later, Bessie passes away.But then she learned that she was adopted and she finally understood the true nature of her plight. Jenny would have loved nothing better than to find her real family and to finally understand where she came from. Family Betrayal served as my introduction to Kitty Neale; my first, but definitely not my last. Neale's stories are contagious, as she transported me to London's 1960s mob scene.
