This collection brings together eight of Pamela Evans' most cherished sagas, each set against the backdrop of twentieth-century London. In Bessie's War, a post office worker keeps her community's spirits up as bombs fall on 1940s London. When the Lights Go Down follows cinema usherette Daisy Blake as war looms in 1938. The Apple of her Eye sees April Green's family rebuilding after tragedy strikes their Chiswick pub in 1945. Dance Your Troubles Away tells of young widow Polly Pritchard raising her daughter alone. On Her Own Two Feet brings the 1940s Keep Fit movement vividly to life. The Other Side of Happiness whisks readers to 1960s Hammersmith, where typist Sadie Bell embraces mini-skirts and pop music. Whispers in the Town follows sisters Sal and Ann Storey through family tragedy in 1957. Finally, A Distant Dream charts May Stubbs' journey through the Depression, illness and the outbreak of war in 1936. Together, these novels showcase Evans' talent for weaving period detail with human stories of family, community and enduring hope.
