Product Description

Product Description

Though she is still grieving the death of her mother, nineteen-year-old Sally Fuller has little choice but to carry on with the everyday business of life in 1930s Rotherhithe, caring for her father and young brother and sister, spending as much time with her boyfriend Pete as he can spare from his moneymaking schemes.   But at the back of her mind she feels a nagging dissatisfaction - her matter-of-fact relationship with Pete, for instance, bears little resemblance to the romances of her movie-star idols, or even to the colourful liaisons of some of her more adventurous friends.   And what about her more modest hopes for marriage and a baby of her own?  Once again, Pete shows little interest.  As war grows closer, Sally sees she must focus her mind on keeping those she loves safe and put her own selfish longings behind her.  But war changes things ...

5.0 out of 5 stars I felt like I was there, 20 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Of all the Dee Williams books I have read, this one was far the best. I was drawn into the lives of sally and her family. I felt I was siting in the air-raid shelter with them praying we would all get out! I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys reading about the traumas of family life in the war. I was unable to put the book down as I could not wait to see what else life had to throw at Sally.

5.0 out of 5 stars not a good reader, 28 Oct 2009
By Mrs. E. Gomm-bayliss "Elaine" (Derbyshire UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Really enjoy this book as I do with all Dee Williams books. I followed her becasue she lives near where I come from so it was lovely to enjoy a local authors work and I have moved 300 miles away and still enjoy it. I have now started my mother-in-law on the books but I have t oget her the secondhand library books as she has to have large print.

1.0 out of 5 stars Simple Sally or the girl who had no ambitions . . ., 15 Oct 2009
I found this book to be rather boring regards the character Sally whos aim in life seems to be to have a baby during the war ?? (daft or what) I found the writing difficult to read to begin with as it was written in the way they speak in south London (and I read alot - The Lord of the Rings trilogy in a week!)

The description of the war and how people coped was very good, but the characters lacked any real ambition or depth. I will not be reading another book by this author.
