Book Review: Bad Company on Coronation Close by Lizzie Lane (Blog Tour)

 

MY REVIEW

What a joy to be back on Coronation Close!

I am a huge fan of Lizzie Lane's books, but I have to say the Coronation Close series is my favourite so far, and book 4 does not disappoint. It was so fabulous to immerse myself in my hometown of Bristol during the year 1942 and catch up with friends, Jenny and Thelma. This instalment also lets us learn more about another Coronation Close resident, Margaret Routledge.

Margaret is complex and hardened through the experiences and heartache life has dealt her, yet carrying a heart she is trying her best to hide - I really liked her and hope her story unfolds even more in the next book (which I assume is coming, judging by the ending of book 4).

If you love family drama that is full of grit, believeable characters and high emotion, I highly recommended you read Bad Company on Coronation Close as soon as possible!

Bad Company on Coronation Close

A heartwrenching and inspiring World War Two saga of friendship, courage and love in the face of danger! Perfect for fans of Rosie Goodwin and Jean Fullerton. 💔

With the men still away fighting, the women keep the home fires burning - some more than others…

Bristol 1942

Following the death of her controlling husband, Margaret Routledge is no longer the downtrodden church mouse she once was. Now she’s the talk of the Close, frequenting seedy pubs and clubs where men gather to pick up good-time girls. It seems Margaret is past redemption until she sees neighbour Jenny Crawford’s headstrong 16-year-old daughter Gloria on the arm of a man of ill repute, and her motherly instincts return.

By contrast, Jenny's eldest, land girl Tilly, has a heart of gold, but trouble brews when she helps a vulnerable mother and child with a dangerous past.

A wayward daughter only adds fire to Jenny’s personal problems, which she chooses to keep to herself in the hope that they will go away.

Meanwhile, Thelma Dawson has landed herself a promotion, but will it conflict with her ongoing romance with Peter van Luntzen – and where is he? Will he come back and make good on his promise?
