Wow what an absolutely fantastic book, right from the beginning I was drawn into the story and just loved the story of Kitty and Maggie, not forgetting Sunday and Tom at Treetops children's home. I had not read the first book "mothering sunday" but that did not spoil reading this great book one bit. Kitty went from being a foundling at the children's home to being reunited with her mother in London and has many ups and downs during the first world war in the music halls and theatres to a more seedy side. I personally didn't like the character of her mother Ruby who you could see was only out for what she could make from Kitty. This book has many emotions covered and you may need a tissue ready at the end. I have read other books by Rosie Goodwin and this one is up there with the best of them.
