My Monthly Book Review - New Neighbours for Coronation Close by Lizzie Lane (part of the Rachel's Resources blog tour)

REVIEW

I was really looking forward to reading this first book in the brand new Coronation Close series from one of my favourite authors Lizzie Lane and it did not disappoint! I have followed Lizzie's Tobacco Girls series from the beginning (the next book due for release in August) and had high hopes for this new series set in a Bristol cul-de-sac.

We are first introduced to heroine Jenny Crawford, her two young daughters, and her (quite frankly!) horrible husband where they are living in one of the most poverty-stricken places in Bristol in 1936. As the story unfolds and Jenny's husband becomes a part of a band of men known as the 'black shirts', the family are moved to a new council estate, Coronation Close in particular.

From there, the story really picks up and I was thrilled when Jenny's new friends and neighbours Cathy and the fabulous Thelma were introduced! Full of drama, family and friends, old and new plus a good dose of simmering romance, this is a must-read for all saga fans...

I can't wait for book 2!

 

New Neighbours for Coronation Close

Bristol 1936

Jenny Crawford has resigned herself to a loveless marriage living hand to mouth with their two children. Like many others, husband Roy struggles to find work at the docks but a chance encounter turns his outlook and the family's fortunes around.

Not only does he get regular work but they are also allocated a council house on Coronation Close on the outskirts of the city. Jenny and the children are overjoyed, this is the fresh start she could only ever dream of.

But trouble feels never too far away. With Roy spending more time away with Sir Oswald Molesey bullying black shirts, Jenny is left to her own devices and eager to fit in begins to make new friends.

Thankful of peace, Jenny has her head turned firstly by an old love and then by her knight in shining armour.

Does she allow herself to fall in love with either of these?

Whatever happens the consequences could be dire if Roy ever finds out.
