A classic novel of life in Cockney London.
On a damp, cold winter night in 1935, Charlie Foden arrives in Cooper Street in London's East End, seeking lodgings. At number eight, Charlie receives a warm welcome from George Parry's wife Lucy, who believes that he is the perfect answer to their financial difficulties. Little does he know that meeting this family will irrevocably change the course of his life...
Harry Bowling
Harry was born in 1931 in a back street off the Tower Bridge Road. Only when his own children began to ask questions about the war, did Harry realise how many stories he had to tell. He became known as 'the King of Cockney sagas', and he wrote eighteen bestselling novels of London life. After Harry died in 1999, the Harry Bowling Prize was set up in his memory.
