About this ebook
An East End mother and daughter travel from London to work the hop fields of Kent in this gripping saga of love and loss on the eve of the Great War.
The annual migration from London to the hop fields of Kent is normally a longed-for escape from the dust and grime of the East End. But this year Rose Fairleigh worries their departure will interrupt the slow-blossoming romance between her daughter Jess and postman Jack Barnes.
Jack promises to visit and assures Rose he will keep an eye on her three sons, who are staying behind. Before he knows it, though, one of the boys is in trouble and it’s up to Jack to bring him home.
Meanwhile in Kent, Jess’ life grows increasingly confusing as, full of promises and charm, the son of suffragette Lady Worlington turns his attentions to her . . .
A heart-wrenching East End family drama, perfect for fans of Sheila Newberry and Downton Abbey.Gilda O'Neill
