Summary
1930s London - a backstreet saga full of hopes, dreams and the fight for survival. Perfect for the fans of Rosie Clarke and Lindsey Hutchinson.
Work at Price's Candle Factory in Battersea is tedious for intelligent 17-year-old Hillie Hardwick, but she knows she is lucky to have a job at all.
Her home life is no better, as she constantly battles with her exacting and bullying father in order to protect her mother and five younger siblings from his abuse.
Her only solace is her loving relationship with the chaotic Parker family and her best friend, Gert Parker.
When matters violently escalate for Hillie, smitten Jack-the-Lad Jimmy Baxter seems her only salvation. But could this be the biggest mistake of her life, and should she be looking for protection nearer home?
A story that crackles with unease where courage and friendship are the only hope.

A great insight to life
Excellent narration. Very true to life then. A little predictable at the ending but quite enjoyable

Candle factory girl
Loved the story very much. Sorry but the narrator was clear enough but her gasps of breath in between each statement gritted on my ears. Plus considering she's a narrator she mispronounced quite a few words which again didn't go down too good sorry.
