When the war destroys everything, can you still keep hope alive?
1915, London. World War I has been raging for over a year, but despite it all Rose Spencer is feeling hopeful about the future. She's in love and planning her wedding to lovely, bicycle-shop owner Charlie.
She loves working as a seamstress at the glamourous London's Lyceum Theatre but secretly can't help fantasising about seeing her own designs come to life. And even when she won't believe in her talent, thankfully best friends Joyce and Annie are always around to push her to have faith in her dreams.
But when a German bomb is dropped on The Strand and the city falls to chaos, her life is turned upside down - is hope for a better future lost for good? And if one dream ends, can she find the strength to fight for a different one?
From the author of the Foyles Bookshop series, Secret Hopes for the West End Girls is a charming and uplifting WW1 saga, perfect for fans of Daisy Styles and Rosie Hendry.
