Lavender Road by Helen Carey invites you into the lives of all the residents. It's 1939 and war time this brings ups and downs for everyone. Joyce Carter is relieved her husband is in prison and is managing to survive by finding a job that her husband does not improve of, her daughter Jen dreams of being on stage. Louise Rutherford is from the "posh" house on the Road and does not need to worry about money but still has her own worries and Katy Parsons who has always been poorly with her asthma but can she reach for her dreams.
Great book which draws you in to the families and their lives.
Beautifully written and a real page turner, I wanted to read on to find out what was going to happen.
Read this book you won't be disappointed.

Thank you Helen Carey for allowing me a walk down Lavender Road - This book dropped me straight into that era and the storyline made me laugh, cry and gasp with delight. I particularly loved the characters of Jen and Katy, but to be honest I was on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen to each and every one of the them all. This book was a total delight and I thank you so much for writing it.

I absolutely loved this family saga set in Lavender Road, South London and focusing on quite a few families during the World War 2 era. There are the Nelsons, the Rutherfords and the Carters to name a few. There is Louise Rutherford a young woman, naïve and immature who falls in love with an older man. Jennifer Carter also a young woman, selfish and arrogant who only wants to be an actress and work as nothing else. Pam Nelson a married woman, bored of her husband and falling for her Irish lodger. These are only a some of the characters, each with their own story to tell. This is one of these books you never want to end!
