THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, Helen Carey's fifth Lavender Road novel, is an irresistible, romantic and heart-warming saga of south London's women during the Second World War. Not to be missed by readers of Kate Thompson, Annie Murray and Lilian Harry. It's 1944, and the brave women on the home front face their own battles. Posh young widow Louise Rutherford, sick of being treated as a second class citizen, has her eye on a job on a new top secret project, but it comes with a big downside. She'll have to join the army: all drill, discipline and frumpy clothes. The only upside is that her new boss will be a handsome American Colonel. But is it love or recognition that she really wants? Jen Carter is longing to prove her ability on stage, but her difficult relationship with the glamorous ENSA theatrical producer Henry Keller is standing in the way. And the arrival back in London of the former love of her life, Sean Byrne, certainly isn't going to help. Now her dreams seem even more unachievable. Against a backdrop of the D Day landings and the horror of the first V-I flying bomb attacks, Louise, Jen and their Lavender Road friends and neighbours share the drama, tragedy and undaunted spirit of a community at war.
