Growing up in fear of their cruel, drunken father, Olivia Bone and her siblings haven't had an easy start in life. But when Livvie's fiancé Joe is killed at Ypres, and he bequeaths her his house in Islington, it seems like the Bone family might finally escape the worst street in North London. Though their new life is anything but settled, at least Livvie has a good friend in Matilda Keiver, and a better one in Lieutenant Lucas Black, her old boss at the Barratt's sweet factory. Lucas and Livvie might be from very different worlds, but he treats her with kindness and respect. As they become closer, she grows determined to assist with the war effort and help the brave men like him. Livvie's life as a factory girl in no way prepares her for the sights she sees on the front line, where she enlists as a nurse - but amongst the violence and heartache, she finds new friends, and new meaning in life. As she falls deeper in love with Lucas, Livvie realises he has secrets that he won't share - and that there can be no future for them without mutual trust. But with the world at war, should Livvie follow her heart, or her head - before it is too late?
Autorenporträt
KAY BRELLEND never imagined she would write novels, especially not ones inspired by her own family. Set in 'the worst street in London', Kay's Campbell Road series follows one Islington family during the First and Second World Wars. Writing the series was a deeply personal journey for Kay, during which she learned much about the toughness and resilience of her ancestors. Her new series, starting with A Sister's Bond, is set in north London in the early 20th century and tells the story of Barratt's Sweet Factory and the families who work there. It has all the heart, grit and history that distinguishes her as one of the most exciting voices in the saga genre. Please visit her website http://www.kaybrellend.com for more information.
