Summary

Liverpool, 1935. Kathy Kelling is coming home to Daisy Street from her first day at the High School, longing to tell her friend, Jane, all about it. The Kellings' life becomes a struggle when Kathy’s brother, Billy, has a serious accident. He needs constant attention, and Mrs Kelling must take in lodgers so that Kathy’s schooling does not suffer.

When war breaks out, Kathy and Jane are forced to grow up fast. Kathy meets the handsome Alec Hewitt, but he is more attracted to blonde, bubbly Jane. But Fate has not yet finished with Kathy Kelling....

Very boring, slow story

The story line was dull and badly written. The narration was good on the whole, but characters’ accents kept changing. Not worth a credit or a listen.

Excellent in every respect

I have loved all of the Katie Flynn books that I have read or listened to so far, they are always books that you can't wait to finish but at the same time don't want to finish, Anne Dover is one of my favourite narraters, she makes the characters come to life, she's brilliant.

Page turner

A lovely warm cosy story! Never a dull moment. An avid description of life during wartime .

Down Daisy Street.

Another warm and cosy story from this wonderful author. I read this book many years ago. But had to listen to it on audiobook. Anne Dover read each chapter to perfection. This narrator knows how to bring all the characters to life. Looking forward to the next book.
