Description
Three best friends from very different backgrounds are working hard to establish themselves in pre-war Spitalfields. Becky wants to become a nurse, but her father has more traditional plans for her. Bernie feels trapped by her vast family of poor Irish dock workers. Rose lives with her drunken mother and a revolving selection of surrogate fathers who exploit and brutalise them both. At least the girls have each other and, as Europe begins to drift towards another war, their friendships become ever more crucial as each one of them fights for their place in an ever-changing, frightening, new world. One way or another, love will pull them through…
