Historical Fiction

Linda Weston has always lived in Eagle Street, a backwater off the Tower Bridge Road market. Life in the street isn't easy: money is tight, the house is overcrowded and everyone knows your business - whether you like it or not. But it's a solid, tight-knit community that laughs, cries and fights together - and helps one another out in difficult times. Linda fell in love with Charlie Bradley just before the outbreak of World War Two and now the war is over, they hope to build a bright new future together. But Linda and Charlie are to find themselves caught in the middle of two rival gangs fighting for a stranglehold over south-east London. The consequences could be devastating. Poignant, nostalgic and funny, "That Summer in Eagle Street" is a vivid and atmospheric portrayal of a south-east London that has all but vanished.
