Secret Hopes for the West End Girls

When the war destroys everything can you still keep hope alive? 1915, London. World War I has been raging for over a year, but despite it all Rose Spencer is feeling hopeful about the future. She's in love and planning her wedding to lovely, bicycle-shop owner Charlie. During the day she works as seamstress at the glamourous London's Lyceum Theatre but finds herself fantasising about seeing her own designs come to life. And even if she won't believe in her talent, thankfully best friends Joyce and Annie are always around to push her to believe in her dreams. But when a German bomb is dropped on The Strand, the city falls to chaos and her life is turned upside down - is hope for a better future lost for good? And if one dreams ends, can she find the strength to fight for a different one? Rose, Annie and Joyce are three girls with very different dreams - united by one great friendship. From the author of the Foyles Bookshop series, Secret Hopes of the West End Girls is a charming and uplifting WW1 saga, perfect for fans of Daisy Styles and Rosie Hendry.
