Amid the glamour of the movies, Connie must contend with a manager whose wandering hands cause trouble, but finds a loyal friend in ice-cream seller Queenie and an intriguing distraction in charming taxi-dancer Tommo Smith. The story is full of warmth, humour and the everyday dramas of women finding their feet during wartime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sequel, I'll Be Seeing You, returns to 1943 as the war drags on along England's south coast. Connie now appears to have it all — a devoted man in Ace, an enviable social life despite rationing, friends, and a job she loves. But appearances deceive, and when her rival Cousin Marlene returns home, long-buried secrets and jealousies threaten to unravel everything Connie has built, forcing her to see Ace in a very different light. Together, these two novels form a moving, character-driven portrait of love, loyalty and survival on the home front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete two-book Picture House Girls story arc in one set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmersive 1940s wartime setting brought vividly to life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong, relatable female characters and genuine emotional depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for fans of Nadine Dorries, Dilly Court and Donna Douglas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback copies, perfect for gifting or collecting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat value way to enjoy the full series from the start\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRosie Archer was born in Gosport, Hampshire, where she still lives, and draws on her deep knowledge of the local area throughout her sagas.
