Summary
A dramatically powerful and romantic saga of tragedy and triumph, perfect for fans of Dilly Court and Rosie Goodwin.
'Put me to work on the pit lane, would you? Is that all you think I'm worth?'
When her mother dies in childbirth, Pearl Edwards is left in the care of her aunt, Annie Grafton. Annie loves Pearl like her own daughter, but it isn't easy to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. Annie knows the best way to supplement their meagre income is to walk the pit lane at night, looking for men willing to pay for her company.
As Pearl grows older she is unable to remain ignorant of Annie's profession, despite her aunt's attempts to shield her. But when Pearl finds herself unexpectedly without work and their landlord raises the rent, it becomes clear they have few choices left, and Annie is forced to ask Pearl the unthinkable.
Rather than submit to life on the pit lane, Pearl runs away. She has nothing and nowhere to go, but Pearl is determined to survive on her own terms....

A wonderful nostalgic trip down memory lane
This was a wonderful trip into nostalgia and reminiscence having grown up in northern England, even though I’ve been away for quite some time. I loved the interwoven subtleties of culture and life, the strong female protagonists that faced the odds and adversity with a gritty determination and hearty pragmatism. Simply wonderful.

Lovely read
Very moving with a bit of realistic thread of life back in 1918.
I am enjoying every story.
