Description
Once, they had it all. Now, a family must struggle with poverty and tragedy, with the prospect that life will never be the same again.
In A Fashionable Address, Pam Evans brings us another gripping London saga, full of hope, heartache and class struggles, set in London's fashionable West End. Perfect for fans of Sheila Newberry and Nadine Dorries.
The Potters of Kensington take for granted all the comforts of their position. Yet, Cyril Potter is a secret gambler whose debts have become so crippling that he can see no way out, and he commits suicide. Left to clear the debts, his family are forced to sell everything they own. As daughter Kate labours in a hat-making factory to support the family, she catches the eye of the wealthy factory owner. But tragedy strikes the family once more when unmarried Kate is left pregnant...
