Torn between her family and the man she loves . . .
Book Description
Polly Longden’s china-doll looks belie a strong and fiery personality. When typhoid strikes her home city of Lincoln, she needs every ounce of that strength in order to cope. With the death of her mother, thirteen-year-old Polly has to give up her ambition of becoming a teacher to care for her family. When their father, too, falls victim to the typhoid, his only hope is to go to hospital, leaving Polly to cope alone. Thankfully she has the support of her neighbours: Bertha Halliday and her son, Leo, a young policeman. Through all the hardships that follow, Polly is sustained by her dream of becoming Leo’s wife. But her father’s hot temper leads him to the wrong side of the law during the railway riots of 1911, forcing Leo to take drastic action that Polly will surely never be able to forgive and forget . . .

Thank you Margaret for yet another excellent book. It was great to visualise being in the city of Lincoln again, desriptions as usual made me feel I was actually there and especially the visit to the Cathedral, with mention of the Imp. So much tragedy for families in the time of the Typhoid epidemic, the War and the Spanish Flu and how courageous the main character Polly was to carry on through whatever life through at her. Wont tell you more, readers as dont want to spoil it for you. Definitely a page turner not to be missed.

Brilliant. Again Margaret Dickinson has given us a book worth reading. From the first page it was a page turner. I would rate this book as one of her best. Carry on the good work Margaret.

I couldn't 'get into' this book, even though the cover and the summary were interesting. I'm really into history and period stories at the moment, but this one was very disappointing. Nothing really happened and it was very plain about every day life for a young girl having to look after her brothers and sisters when the mother died. I've only read about a quarter of it and to be honest I haven't wanted to pick it up and finish it. It is very boring.

Another good story by Margaret Dickinson. Easy to read, but still gives a real flavour of what life must have been like for struggling families during WW1. Read more
