MY REVIEW
I have been waiting for the next book in one of my favourite saga series to be released for so long and it's finally here!
Tough Times on Coronation Close is book 4 in the series, but it is well worth reading the entire series in my opinion - set on a Bristol council estate during WWII, we catch up with friends and neighbours Thelma and Jenny as the continue to get through the stress and worry of war, rationing and raising their children. There is a mystery man causing suspicion, but is the suspicion unwarranted? There is also the scent of kindling romance for more than one of these fabulous characters...
A brilliant new instalment from the pen of the fabulous Lizzie Lane! I really hope there will be a book number 5.
Tough Times on Coronation Close
As the war rages, the women
must keep the home fires burning…
Bristol 1941
Coronation Close survives the brutal Bristol Blitz
but with rationing, call up papers and new rules and regulations everyone’s
lives are changed forever.
Resident do-gooder PC Percy Routledge obsession with
rules being upheld finds him spying and reporting fellow neighbours on the
slightest infraction whilst his poor brow-beaten wife, Margaret can only watch
on in shameful silence. It’s whispered that one day he’ll get his comeuppance…
Times are hard for everyone and Thelma Dawson
certainly has her fair share of upset. Devastating news arrives that her son
Charlie’s ship has been torpedoed and sank in the Atlantic, his whereabout
unknown. Will he ever return to his wife and their unborn child? Meanwhile,
seventeen years old daughter Mary has had her head turned by a certain overseas
soldier. But where will temptation lead them?
Tough times, it seems are her to stay and the woman
of Coronation Close all have their own battles and problems to overcome. As
friendships are nurtured and relationships are tested, tragedy strikes and some
home truths need to be faced.

Author Bio –
Summer time and the eightieth anniversary of D Day. I visited the veterans cemetery above Omaha Beach some years ago. The rows of gleaming crosses brought tears and I could barely speak. Those soldiers were so young, not much older than my grandchildren. Besides writing the Coronation Close series and the Orchard Cottage Hospital series, two other books will be published in August that refer back to the Second World War. The first begins in Hong Kong around Christmas time 1941. Pearl Harbour had been attacked in early December. Now it was the turn of Hong Kong and then Singapore. My heroine in this is a doctor who got caught up in the horror of the Christmas Day massacre at a Hong Kong hospital. Doctor of Kowloon. The second of these two is Escape from Kowloon. Her fear for a man obsessed with possessing her in body and mind forces her into another war - this time in Korea.
Why do I write about war? Because I recall those of the war generation who were relatives and neighbours of my mother's generation. I'm handing the stories on - perhaps in the hope that such horror never happens again. I was impressed by the stoical women of that time. Somehow, despite the shortages and the fear, they carried on. Not so much keep calm and carry on for its own sake or for governments or general - but for the sake of their families and their hope for the future.
