For the families in Saddler Street, drama is always just around the corner.

Harry Bowling’s post-war saga, One More For Saddler Street, is a tale of the families that inhabit one East End London street, and the dramas and events that make up their lives. Perfect for fans of Nadine Dorries and Dilly Court.


Saddler Street is like many of the other little backstreets of Bermondsey, with its row of two-up, two-down terraced houses standing in the shadow of Allen’s Wharf.

Number 5 is home to the Johnson family, but the atmosphere inside the four walls is not always as happy as the neighbours may think. Lana Johnson – young, intelligent and strikingly attractive – is getting serious with the local small-time villain, Ben Ferris. And everyone except Lana herself is sure that the match will end in tears.

Next door to the Johnsons lives Lottie Curtis, a kind-hearted widow they have taken under their wing. For decades Lottie has been foster mother to children from broken homes. Only Jimmy Bailey has ever demonstrated in a practical way the debt he owed to Lottie – until the war intervened and he was called up. But it’s 1946 and Lottie is facing her eightieth birthday alone. When Jimmy, now demobbed, teams up with Lana to organise a reunion of all the old lady’s children as a birthday treat, there’s more than one surprise in store…

Reviews

Poignant, nostalgic - but not romanticised - stories of good-hearted ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances
Independent
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
