In Molly’s seventh novel of the saga, at the beginning of 1945, Maud and Richard knew it was only a matter of time before Hitler and his Nazi party was destroyed. The British, Americans, and the Russians along with twenty other countries were now converging with destructive force on Berlin. But such positive news meant little to the civilians of London who were dealing day by day with shortages of food, clothing and fuel as well as coping with business, reappearing scoundrels and life changing accidents.
Old enemies are subject to retributive justice: corrupt men are arrested for indecency. There are deaths, births and before the last and final day, addressing and accepting the final powerful weapons of the Third Reich, the dreaded vengeance rockets that decimated cities.
However, just because the war concluded, and amid the triumphant joy of victory, family life was never going to be the same again for, The Morrow family of Newgate Street.
This was one of those novels written many years ago and it has now been extensively rewritten in 2024 eliminating the grammatical errors that I had previously made. I humbly apologise for those early readers who struggled with it and made this book such a success.
