LIZZIE OF LANGLEY STREET

It's dark and gripping, but not without humour. Rivers' debut novel is set in the mean streets of London's Isle of Dogs. Want to know what the real East Enders were like before Walford? Then read this. You won't be disappointed but you may be surprised.

ROSE OF RUBY STREET

If LIZZIE squares up to the East End underworld, it's ROSE who continues the fight twenty years later. Her life's in danger, her children are threatened, yet she still seeks justice for her family. ROSE is a woman in a million and a force to be reckoned with. As her enemies soon discover!

CONNIE OF KETTLE STREET

A compelling wartime saga - ordinary people caught up in extraordinary times! Connie of Kettle Street brings the unquenchable East End spirit to vivid and memorable life.

BELLA OF BOW STREET

It's now post-war Britain and the East End is a veritable bomb-site. Eight-year-old Bella Doyle and her younger brother Terry have suffered a dreadful war. But worse, is the abuse and neglect of their uncaring mother. There is a way out, but freedom comes at a price. Taking Terry with her, Bella embarks on a new and dangerous course. As with all the Rivers' heroines, Bella proves herself a formidable and courageous woman, who refuses to be beaten.

LILY OF LOVE LANE

1930, London's Isle of Dogs. 20-year-old Lily Bright works long hours on a market stall, selling furniture and bric-a-brac to make ends meet. When a handsome stranger approaches in search of a bargain, it's love at first sight - for Lily!
