What to expect
Immerse yourself in the next book from bestselling author Rosie Clarke in her enchanting Harpers Emporium series
It's the roaring 20s - a time of prosperity, optimism, and change...
Oxford Street, London 1926
Kitty Wilson, who, after losing her father, rejects the unsuitable suitor her mother has chosen. Abandoned by her mother, Kitty faces the challenges of navigating life alone. Amidst the turmoil, Kitty finds solace and support from friends, securing a promotion at Harpers Emporium. However, tragedy looms, threatening to shatter her newfound stability.
Sally and Ben Harper face their own challenges. A decision by Ben regarding the restaurant, made without consulting his partner Jack Burrows, jeopardizes not only their friendship but also the stability of Harpers itself.
Meanwhile Beth Burrows becomes embroiled in some dangerous gangland dealings, raising fears for her family's safety. Can an unknown guardian angel emerge to shield them from harm? Yet, even in the darkest times, the bonds of friendship prove to be a beacon of hope.
Discover a tale of resilience, friendship, and unexpected alliances against the backdrop of a transformative era.
Perfect for fans of Lizzie Lane, Pam Howes and Dilly Court.
