Heartache For the Tram Girls
(2025)(The fifth book in the Potteries Girls series)
A novel by Lynn Johnson
At twenty-six, Emily will probably become an old maid, good for nothing but looking after the family on the death of her mother.
She considers herself to be a Potteries Girl and when her widowed father quickly remarries and has a new family, Emily leaves home and gets a job in the offices of the Potteries Tramway Company. She makes friends with two unlikely women, a clippie named Doris, also on her own, and Lottie, the young mother who becomes her landlady.
Unfortunately, she makes an enemy of office worker Peggy Thompson who certainly is not one to be trifled with.
Each of the women have secrets they must maintain, but Emily has three. She is Jewish, a German, and her brother Albert fought against the British during the war.
How long can secrets stay secret? And when romance comes along will it be Pottery owner, John Rhead, or mechanic, Stan Bristowe who will sweep Emily off her feet?
Genre: Sagas
