Summary
In 1975 Lucinda Marsh throws herself in front of a speeding train leaving her 12-year-old daughter Kitty alone, confused and abandoned – save for a selfish aunt, a violent father and her childhood sweetheart Harry Jenkins.
When Kitty is sent to an orphanage after the death of her father, she meets Georgie, a lively cockney girl who, through the following difficult years, becomes her loyal friend. Convinced that her feelings for Harry will ruin the brilliant future that lies ahead of him, Kitty turns her back on his love.
Together with Georgie, she strives to find fulfilment in other places and other relationships, but when fate throws her back together with Harry she begins to wonder if true love can ever die...

Amazing story of love and friendship.
I am a huge fan of Josephine cox as any regular followers of my reviews will know. I have to say out of all the books by this author i've read this one was one of my favourites. Kitties Story was heart breaking however her resilience and loving nature did not change through out the whole book. A lot of people who've been through what she did would have broken or become bitter but not Kittie.
Georgy was also a fantastic character and despite her being a bit of a trouble maker she was loyal to Kittie and there friendship was a wonderful aspect of the book. The story was sad and full of twists because you never knew what ending it might have. As usual another classic by this author and i'm glad now she's passed away her books are being re recorded and updated. Both Sherrie Banes and Carrol Boid really suit this authors writing.

Good story
Much as I like Josephine Cox books i found this one was strangely not written as the era it was meant to be in. The story is set in the 70’s and 80’s but there were some references and turns of phrases that made you think it was from the 40’s or 50’s. Having said that I did enjoy the story as a whole and it had a good ending.
