1941 – Amid the bombs falling over London’s East End, the residents of West India Dock Road endure wartime with courage, defiance and a good dose of humour.

Since the bombing of her family’s boarding house, Charity has held her loved ones together, and now, with her heart set on becoming a ‘sugar girl’ working for Tate & Lyle, she’s determined to forge a new path, despite prejudice about her relationship with the Indian soldier she loves.
Her best friend Divya serves up warmth and spice in her beloved curry house, but is hiding a secret that grows more urgent with each passing day. What will happen when it is revealed?
Ruth is a newcomer, recently arrived from wartorn Europe and haunted by the atrocities she’s experienced. On West India Dock Road she finds not just refuge but an unlikely family.
As heartache affects them all and bonds are tested, can these three women find hope and happiness, even in the darkest of times?
Heartache On West India Dock Road is the third book in the West India Dock Road series. It’s an emotive and deeply layered read. It works well as a standalone, but reading the other books in the series would really enrich the overall reading experience.
It’s a book that will have you becoming so deeply invested in all the characters’ lives and will make you impatient to read the next book in the series.
If you love historical fiction that really makes you feel, then this is a book(and series) for you!
