73 Dove Street by Julie Owen Moylan

Soho, London, 1958. Three women. One boarding house.

A secret that could shatter everything. 'Gripping… Julie Owen Moylan vividly recreates drab, grey postwar London and her characters are convincing to the end' THE TIMES, 'BEST NEW HISTORICAL FICTION' 'Psychologically astute and emotionally absorbing, this is a heartfelt read' DAILY MAIL 'Emotional, immersive and utterly absorbing' JENNIFER SAINT ---- West London, 1958. 73 Dove Street is a shabby house in a shabby street.

But this boarding house’s attic room suits newcomer Edie Budd very well. It’s somewhere to hide. Tommie, on the second floor, is up in Soho every night.

There’s a man she’s pursuing – whether he wants her or not. Landlady Phyllis has thrown out her cheating husband. She’s burned his belongings in the street.

Sometimes there’s no going back. Three survivors living under one roof. Each alone nursing their secret hurts – and hopes.
