Thurnscoe, South Yorkshire, England, 1944.
The pit village awakens with the dawn – a tapestry of terraced houses, each brick etched with stories of endurance. The war may scar the landscape, but it cannot extinguish the spirit of this down-to-earth working-class community, forged in coal and grit. The war casts its shadow, yet life persists.
On Deightonby Street three friends in their thirties navigate the highs and lows of life, love, conflicts, neighbours, children, and the formidable Doris Price.
Will happily married Lucy Hobson give in to her mutual passionate feelings for her daughter’s charming G.I. friend, Paul?
Will Meg Emmett find the courage to stand up to her abusive husband and open her heart to new love?
Will handsome Eddie Calpin’s unwavering romantic pursuit of the unimpressed Dot Moore finally pay off? Will she give in to her hidden desires?
As the sun dips behind slag heaps, the houses hold their secrets – the laughter, the grief, the unwavering hope.
ARC REVIEWS:
“Calling all Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Mount Pleasant and EastEnders fans – check out Deightonby Street. You’ll LOVE it.”
“Hilarious, a scream, a hoot, a joy – brilliant read.”
“This should be on Netflix. Where for art thou?!”
“So, Coronation Street and Emmerdale got together and made a baby – Deightonby Street.”
“I love Deightonby Street!”
CAUTION: Some mild sexual references and swearing occur throughout. If easily offended, do not read. This book requires a sense of humour to enjoy. If you do not have one, do not proceed.
Genre: General Fiction
