About this listen

Heartache and hardship in London’s East End, from the bestselling author of The Orphans of Halfpenny Street

St Saviours children’s home in London’s East End has provided a safe refuge for local children for decades and Sister Beatrice and her team are as busy as ever.
New staff member Jinny is glad to escape the lewd advances of her drunken and slovenly mother’s rotten boyfriends, but can she prove she isn’t a chip off the old block?
As ever, the staff are tested when orphaned brother and sister Andy and Beth are brought to the home – they are clearly terrified of something, and Andy refuses to be sent home, but can Sister Beatrice get to the bottom of their story before they are returned to their stepfather?
It’s all in a day’s work for the home – but things are about to change forever – will they be ready to face the future?

HOWEVER, how many times was this word used,. What is wrong with although, but?. It really did start to wear on me hence the loss of 1 star. Apart from that, the story and the narration was brilliant, I was hooked from the very start. The characters were believable and I felt the pain and anger.. So yes really worth the read.

I really enjoyed this story from Book 1 to 5.

This book is the final part of a 5 book series. The first 4 books were very good and well written but in this last chapter we are faced with the author's personal opinions on homosexuality and Euthanasia. I do not object to controversial subjects being included in a book if they fit in with the story but, in this case, both subjects were irrelevant and not in keeping with the actual series at all.

Disappointing
