Now that the war is over, life can go back to normal. But things can never be the same again…
Harry Bowling writes a moving saga in Pedlar’s Row – a tale of two sisters, and their differing experiences of living in 1940’s London. Perfect for fans of Cathy Sharp and Annie Murray.
It’s 1946 and the close-knit community of Pedlar’s Row in Bermondsey is full of curiosity about the new family, the Priors, moving into number three. Laura Prior is enjoying the excitement of her new home – not least because of her growing attraction to docker Billy Cassidy.
But her sister, Lucy, is finding life harder: rationing, a shortage of homes, a husband who is emotionally scarred from his internment in a POW camp and her guilt about a wartime affair, make it difficult to settle into married life.
What readers are saying about Pedlar’s Row:

Reviews
Poignant, nostalgic - but not romanticised - stories of good-hearted ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances
What makes Harry's novels work is their warmth and authenticity. Their spirit comes from the author himself and his abiding memories of family life as it was once lived in the slums of southeast London
