LIZZIE OF LANGLEY STREET

November 1920

In the bleak years after World War I, market trader's daughter Lizzie Allen faces desperate times. With her mother dead, her crippled father a broken and bitter man, her elder brother deeply in debt to the local hard man, Lizzie must draw on all her courage and resourcefulness to keep her family fed and clothed, and prevent her two younger sisters being taken into care. When her sweetheart Danny heads for a better life in Australia, Lizzie is torn between her heart and her loyalty to her family. But Lizzie is a true East Ender, determined to survive despite the lure of criminal gangs and her suspicions about her husband Frank, the man she settles for as second best. Will she find the strength to protect and keep her family together? Will she be able to escape her increasingly violent marriage? And will she ever be reunited with her one true love, costermonger Danny Flowers?
