This is a war saga with a dark secret.
The story follows the Brogan family, and especially Mattie (or Matilda Mary) who live in the East End of London at the outbreak of the second world war. They are just a normal working class family and the story starts with Mattie's sister Cathy wedding day. Mattie was working in a nearby sweat shop but then leaves to do important war work so joins the Civil Defence and becomes an ARP Warden. As the story progresses she gets involved with two men but are either of these men who they say they are? You are left hoping that she will make the right choice and as the story finished it reaches a dramatic climax with action for Mattie. This book is the first in a series about the Brogans of Mafeking Terrace and I can't wait to read more to find out what happens to Mattie and her family.
