Product Description

Carter Lane is an ordinary backstreet in Bermondsey and, for Dolly and Mick Flynn, it is home. When World War Two breaks out they know that nothing will be quite the same again. As the Blitz starts to take its toll and the close-knit community in Carter Lane endures the sorrows and partings which they had dreaded above all else, they find comfort in one another and solace in the knowledge that their wounds will eventually heal – as time goes by. Heartbreaking and compelling, this is the story of a community in its darkest and yet finest hour.

About the Author
Harry was born in 1931 in a back street off the Tower Bridge Road. He left school at the age of 14. In his fifties, he was given early retirement from his job as a brewery driver-drayman, and was at last able to devote his time to writing. He became known as 'the King of Cockney sagas', who wrote eighteen bestselling novels of London life. Sadly Harry died in 1999 and the Harry Bowling Prize was set up in 2000 in his memory.

ANOTHER CRACKER OF A BOOK
I have read all of Harry Bowlings books and have enjoyed every one. This book makes you feel like you know each one of the characters personally, I became so absorbed in their lives I was disappointed that it came to an end.

Excellent
Well done Harry! Yet another cracking book. You bring the all the characters to life. You can actually imagine the way everyone lives.

I have read all Harry Bowling's books and loved every one of them!
