Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

This story begins at the outset of the World War II, and revolves around the lives of six Lyons Corner House waitresses. Each girl has a different personality, different family background, and different experience of London in the Blitz. There are happy homes and less happy ones, there are brothers and lovers in the forces, there are children evacuated to the countryside, and there are relationships that end in romance and tragedy.


About the Author

Lilian Harry grew up in Portsmouth and now lives in a village on the edge of Dartmoor with three ginger cats and a black and silver miniature schnauzer with a fan club bigger than that of her mistress. Her daughter and two grandchildren live nearby.

4.0 out of 5 stars A classic novel with laughter,tears and joy., Feb 17 2002
By Emily (London, England) - See all my reviews
When I first picked up the book, I was not expecting the hold the novel would have on me. I finished the book with in two days,it is 400 words strong and each one perfectly describes the real feelings of people in London just before the out break of WW2. The relationships that are built up between the 6 main characters and their families and lovers really draw the reader in and make the book come alive. References to real life stories and events just increase the hold that the story has on the reader. As the book twists and turns its was to the climax, it is sorely tempting to read well into the dead of night. The language used really transports you to inner London, the cockney ryhming slang adds to the effect. The tone is exactly right,understanding of the emotions people felt but light and funny when needed and again serious when appropriate. The feelings this book provokes are amazing and you will find yourself hankering for the sequal.
