The Streets of London
Historical Fiction
A young woman arrives alone at Euston Station carrying little more than hope, determination, and a suitcase.
Having fled a troubled life in rural Wales, Nora sets out to find her friend Barbara and build a new future in the vast and unfamiliar city of London. But the streets of the capital hold dangers as well as opportunities, and not everyone she meets has her best interests at heart.
Set against the backdrop of 1960s London, this story explores courage, friendship, resilience, and the search for belonging.
