Summary
1942. Sixteen-year-old Poppy Percival turns up at Trout's clothing factory to start work as a seamstress.
Poppy harbours a secret - one from which she is still suffering. But she's not the only one with a secret. Each of her new friends at the factory is hiding something painful.
The war will throw their lives into turmoil but also bring these women closer to each other than they could ever have imagined.

Wow, just Wow!
I seem to have always known about this disaster, not sure how. I love history, born & bread in North London. This book made my cry, so touching, emotional. Puts things into perspective it really does, those poor families. So beautifully written by Kate Thompson. Amazing narrative as always by Anne Dover. Thank you.

Story about women brought together in a factory during wartime.
Each woman hiding a secret from the past.
I found the story gripping,exciting, sad and found it difficult to stop.
Highly recommended

Fantastic Story
Not the usual story I would go for but was really enjoyable and had me gripped. I knew nothing of the Bethnal Green tube tragedy so learnt a lot whilst listening. Can't wait for Kate Thompson's next book now. Great writer who I'd highly recommend.
I did find the narrator irritating as she changed accents and voices and sometimes forgot who's voice was who's. Would have preferred her to not act out and just read. But that may just be my personal taste. This was my first audio book so could be the normal thing.

A brilliant....
storyline from start to finish with some lovely characters in and some great antics within the book. The narrator was very good at using different voices for the characters.
