My Monthly Book Review...

 

MY REVIEW

If you have been a reader of my books for any amount of time, you will know that Jean Fullerton is one of my absolute favourite saga writers. I have been reading her books for more than ten years now and she never fails to deliver.

A Ration Book Victory is the final book in her fabulous Ration Book series although all the books can be read stand alone. Having said that, I highly recommend you read them all!

This is just the perfect book to end the series as it tells the story of Queenie Brogan, the matriach of the Brogan family - a character that is central to the entire saga and a woman who I have taken into my heart. By flipping back and forth to Queenie's adolscence during the mid-late 1800s to the current time during the end of WWII, we learn how and why Queenie is the woman she is today as well as learning the true nature of the romance between her and the love of her life.

This book is a wonderful read and I cannot recommend it (or the series!) enough. Happy reading!

A Ration Book Victory

Jean Fullerton, the RNA-shortlisted queen of the East End, returns with the final nostalgic and heart-warming story of the Brogan family.
_____

In the final days of war, only love will pull her through . . .

Queenie Brogan wasn't always an East End matriarch. Many years ago, before she married Fergus, she was Philomena Dooley, a daughter of Irish Travellers, planning to wed her childhood sweetheart, Patrick Mahone. But when tragedy struck and Patrick's narrow-minded sister, Nora, intervened, the lovers were torn apart.

Fate can be cruel, and when Queenie arrives in London she finds that Patrick Mahon is her parish priest, and that the love she had tried to suppress flares again in her heart.

But now in the final months of WW2, Queenie discovers Father Mahon is dying and must face losing him forever. Can she finally tell him the secret she has kept for over fifty years or will Nora once again come between them?

And if Queenie does decide to finally tell Patrick, could the truth destroy the Brogan family?
