I love all of Sheila Newbury's books, and Hot pies on the tramcars did not disappoint. I loved the intricate family dynamics and I really identified with Florence. Newbury really brought that era to life, between wars was a tumultuous time for every day people where life was changing so rapidly, and Newbury brought that life as if it was yesterday.
Florence really spoke to me, her story was very similar to my great aunt's story and it really helped me understand the prejudices of the time and made me feel closer to my family that I never meet.
I would highly recommend this book to saga fans, and if you aren't a regular saga reader, this is the book that will get you hooked on the genres- and possibly meat pies too.
