About this listen
Shortlisted for Historical Romantic Novel in the Romantic Novelists Association Books Awards
Birmingham, almost a decade after the end of the Great War, and the women of Lilac Street have had more than their fair share of troubles . . .
Rose Southgate is trapped in a loveless marriage. Shy and isolated, she makes the best of life, until she meets a man who changes everything.
Jen Green is struggling to make ends meet, with a sick husband and five children to support. Aggie, her eldest daughter, is twelve years old and longs for excitement. But
prying into the adult world shows her more than she had bargained for.
And Phyllis Taylor is a widow who has managed to put a dark and traumatic past behind her. But the return of her daughter Dolly threatens all that . . .
These women find strength in friendship, as they discover that the best way to solve their problems is to face them together, in Annie Murray's compelling The Women of Lilac Street, read by Annie Aldington.

There are too many to choose from. Besides I don't want to spoil the storyAny additional comments?
If you enjoy a gentle people story or are Catherine Cookson fan you will enjoy this book. The story of everyday folk written about an area that the author is familiar with so that the ambiance is spot on. Characters with challenges to overcome set in time with a different set of values. Good listenA good yarn

It made me cry. It was a sad cry as you believed the story of the people and wanted it to end up happy.Any additional comments?
Definitely recommend this book.the only downside was sometimes you could hear the
Annie swallowing which at first was annoying, but got used to it.
Definitely worth listening to.
