Queenie Brogan wasn' t always an East End matriarch. Many years ago, before she married Fergus, she was Philomena Dooley, a daughter of Irish Travellers, planning to wed her childhood sweetheart, Patrick Mahone. But when tragedy struck and Patrick' s narrow-minded sister, Nora, intervened, the lovers were torn apart. Fate can be cruel, and when Queenie arrives in London she finds that Patrick Mahon is her parish priest, and that the love she had tried to suppress flares again in her heart. But now in the final months of WW2, Queenie discovers Father Mahon is dying and must face losing him forever. Can she finally tell him the secret she has kept for over fifty years or will Nora once again come between them? And if Queenie does decide to finally tell Patrick, could the truth destroy the Brogan family?

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 *
