Not even the Blitz can shake a mother' s love. Cathy was a happy, blushing bride when Britain went to war with Germany three years ago. But her youthful dreams were crushed by her violent husband Stanley' s involvement with the fascist black-shirts, and even when he' s conscripted to fight she knows it' s only a brief respite - divorce is not an option. Cathy, a true Brogan daughter, stays strong for her beloved little son Peter. When a telegram arrives declaring that her husband is missing in action, Cathy can finally allow herself to hope - she only has to wait 6 months before she is legally a widow and can move on with her life. In the meantime, she has to keep Peter safe and fed. So she advertises for a lodger, and Sergeant Archie McIntosh of the Royal Engineers' Bomb Disposal Squad turns up. He is kind, clever and thoughtful; their mutual attraction is instant. But with Stanley' s fate still unclear, and the Blitz raging on over London' s East End, will Cathy ever have the love she deserves? Jean Fullerton, the queen of the East End saga, returns with a wonderful new nostalgic novel.

Richly-textured and engrossing. . . Jean Fullerton' s meticulous research and background knowledge enable her to create a wholly convincing and engaging wartime novel. . . Completely immersive. With humour to lighten the mood as well it can be laugh-out-loud funny as well as deeply poignant, but it is the emotional richness and heart to the book that draws the story together and makes this such a rewarding read. * Nicola Cornick, Historia, on A Ration Book Childhood * Lovely. . . The author' s writing captures the atmosphere and emotions and difficulties of life during wartime. It is a great piece of historical fiction which centres on World War II. . . The book was an emotional read with a few tears along the way. * New Books Magazine, on A Ration Book Childhood * Charming and full of detail. . . You will ride emotional highs and lows. . . Beautifully written. * The Lady on Jean Fullerton * A real page-turner with larger-than-life characters and convincing period detail * Daily Express, praise for A Ration Book Christmas * A lovely, fascinating, proper treat of a read set during the Blitz of World War Two. . . A Ration Book Christmas is food for the soul, it' s simply deliciously readable and enjoyable. * Liz Robinson, LoveReading, on A Ration Book Christmas * A delightful, well-researched story that really does depict nursing and the living conditions in the East End at the end of the war. * Lesley Pearce, on Call Nurse Millie *
