Book Synopsis:

Blackpool, 1893

Tilly has come a long way from the run-down tenements in which she grew up. She has a small but comfortable home, a loving, handsome husband, two beautiful little’uns – Babs and Beth – and she earns herself a little money weaving wicker baskets. Life is good.

Until the day Tilly returns home to find a policeman standing on her doorstep. Her Arthur won’t be coming home tonight – nor any night – having fallen to his death whilst working on Blackpool tower. Suddenly Tilly is her daughters’ sole protector, and she’s never felt more alone.

With the threat of destitution nipping at their heels, Tilly struggles to make ends meet and keep a roof over her girls’ heads. In a town run by men Tilly has to ask herself what she’s willing to do to keep her family together and safe – and will it be enough?

The perfect read for fans of Mary Wood, Kitty Neale, Val Wood and Nadine Dorries

My Review:

I’m such a huge fan of this author and love this series so I was incredibly excited to be invited onto the blog tour for her new book, Blackpool’s Angel.

This author really knows how to write engrossing, heartbreaking reads that are very easy to get lost in for a few hours. This book is no exception and I soon found myself wrapped up in Tilly’s story, frequently reaching for the tissues when events take a turn for the worse. I really felt for Tilly and wanted to keep reading to find out what happens to her.

The story is expertly plotted and there is always something happening to keep me thoroughly gripped. The events in the book worked well with each other and never seemed forced, making the book seem very realistic. As with the author’s previous books this was quite hard hitting as the author doesn’t shy away from the difficult subjects which makes for a harrowing read at times. The way the story is written gives the reader a fly on the wall view of the action which made me feel more involved in the story and therefore I felt everything that Tilly goes through much more personally as if it was happening to me.

As you can probably tell from the above I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read more from this talented author. Huge thanks to Mary Wood for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Sphere Book for my copy of this book.
