Samenvatting

An irresistible, romantic and nostalgic novel about a resilient community of friends and neighbours in Clapham, south London, during the Second World War - not to be missed by readers of Lilian Harry, Kate Thompson and Annie Murray.

1942 is drawing to a close. German air raids have devastated south London. While their menfolk face up to Hitler's forces in Europe and North Africa, the women of Lavender Road have their own battles to fight.

Nurse Molly Coogan is keen to do her bit, but first she needs to escape from the oppressive discipline of hospital life. And from her dangerous attraction to an unobtainable man.

Jen Carter is convinced she's got what it takes to become an actress. But will she have to use more than her acting talents to get that lucky break?

Jen's mother Joyce has always had to scrimp and save while bringing up her large family. Now, as food shortages deepen, she's amazed to find her advice in public demand.

As the neighbourhood celebrates Christmas, no one can guess what new friendships, foreign adventures or romantic surprises are around the corner.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll want to stay on Lavender Road till the bittersweet end.

Cover by ...

LONDON CALLING is a poignant, warm-hearted and engaging saga of Clapham, south London's women during the Second World War, for readers of Kate Thompson, Annie Murray and Katie Flynn.

It will take more than Hitler's Luftwaffe to break the spirit of the residents of Lavender Road. If courage and resilience could win wars, the conflict would already be over.

It's not all harmony, though. Nurse Molly Coogan and would-be actress Jen Carter certainly don't see eye to eye. Molly, despite hating the discipline of wartime hospital life, is unimpressed by Jen's prima donna ways. Jen, unaware of Molly's secret heartache, can't resist taking her own frustrations out on Molly. It's just as well that no one knows what challenges lie ahead...

From stolen glasses in the Flag and Garter to fancy dinners in the heart of the West End, from a desperate battle for survival on a hospital ward to a torpedo hitting its target in the Mediterranean Sea, LONDON CALLING takes readers into a world of ordinary people living extraordinary lives.

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
