Welcome to Litsy!

Picked this up from library didn‘t realise was a series. Gutted I read it anyway as got it in large print to read with my mum. Anyone read this in order ?????????

In this novel we hear the tale of Charlie Brogan and his tempestuous home and love life.
While fighting in the war his wife Stella is working in a strip bar, neglecting their child and also cheating on him.

When he finds out their marriage is over but the lady who has always loved him and who was right under his nose has moved on but now Charlie realises he also had feelings for her too but is it all too late for them to strike up a romance?

Charlie Brogan has been hit by shrapnel so is sent home but what he finds when he returns blows his life apart.
His wife Stella is working at a strip club and neglecting their son.
Their marriage is all but over and finally Charlie realises he married the wrong woman and is really in love with Francesca Fabrino.
But there is one snag, she has given up hope waiting for something that could never be.
She is now engaged to Leo...

I'm a huge wartime novel fan and I just love these "slice of life" kitchen sink style stories and the way the author keeps on with the same family and their personal situation.
In this tale we are told all about Charlie Brogan and his disastrous marriage to Stella who is a hellcat but realises too late he is really in love with Francesca Fabrino who has worshipped him since their school days.
But Francesca has given up hope and moved on
