Wow what a lovely book. I thoroughly enjoyed the ups and downs Sally and Josie had,
I couldn’t decide who I wanted Sally to fall in love with Gideon or Kelly, I was so glad she got to perform at Astleys
and what a beautiful happy ending.

I enjoyed this book - I am of an age that I remember rag and bone men on their carts so found it interesting that they had a “patch”. Also I enjoyed the historical values of London being a Londoner. Good read if you enjoy the historical views of the generation with a romance thrown in

Good characters and a different and interesting storyline made this an enjoyable read. Set around the rag and bone business we follow the main character through troubled times to happier times.

Paradise Row, London. December 1865.

Snow is falling fast and Sally Suggs is working tirelessly to bring in enough money to keep bread on the table. Her father, a skilled rag-and-bone man, has fallen ill and now Sally has taken up his trade.

But this is a man’s world and competition is fierce, and Sally’s rival Finn Kelly always seems to be one step ahead. Her family’s one valuable possession is their horse, Flower, yet with no one to protect them, London’s underbelly of black-market traders circle closer.

Sally needs to find help in the most unexpected places if they are to survive…...

I haven't read anything by Dilly Court before and I thought this would be a nice escape from my usual crime/thriller books. I found this very easy to read and quickly became immersed in Sally's life. The story flows along nicely and there are some lovely characters in the book. All in all an enjoyable read and will definitely read more from Dilly Court when I want an escape from my Crime & Thriller stories.
