Welcome to Litsy!

For fans of historical fiction, there is much to enjoy in this novel, set in 1920s London. The characters and atmosphere created by the author are divine and take on an almost whimsical quality. And while the novel deals with hard issues of domestic abuse, postnatal depression and infant abandonment, it's not in a heavy handed way. My only grouch was the far fetched ending which stretched believability way past maximum. But a solid 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is a lovely, heartwarming family saga set during the 1920s in Richmond, London. It‘s beautifully and very descriptively written. It was easy to picture the setting in my mind and to also visualise the cast of fascinating and realistic characters. It‘s well plotted and paced. It kept my interest throughout and I was eagerly awaiting the next stave via the Pigeonhole app each day. A sign of a good book!
