This book is the third in the East End Ration Series by Jean Fullerton. The good news is you can read this as a standalone (like i did) or you can read the series in order giving you more knowledge about the Brogan family.
The book focuses on the matriarch of the Brogan family - mother, wife and aunty - Ida Brogan. Throughout the trials and tribulations of the war, she was the ancor to the family. The love and support from her husband gave her strength when she has needed it most. So when a friend returns to town with a secret, Ida's life is turned upside down.
When that friend asks a huge favour, one that could put the nail in the coffin of Ida's now rocky marriage, she doesn't know if she can deal with the pain of fighting for the love she once felt with her husband. Ida has always been strong but has she got the strength to keep her family together?
This book was such an emotional read. To read how people coped during that time of there lives. To read about how they carried on, despite all that was being thrown there way really filled you with respect!
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would certainly recommend it.
