Superbly plotted . . . a heartwarming and engrossing read

Maisie Thomas, author of <i>Christmas with the Railway Girls</i>

I was hooked from the start. The meticulous period detail and true-to-life characters had me immersed in the action, and I didn’t want the story to end. A joy to read

Vicki Beeby, author of <i>The Ops Room Girls</i>

A big-hearted book which had me glued from beginning to end. With a sassy, brave and instantly loveable character in Ruby, I was with her through every step, high and low, in this wonderfullly engaging novel. Be prepared to have a few tissues to hand as this is both an emotional and heartwarming read! Impeccably researched, the author brings the East End of London during the first world war vividly to life. I recommend this book to animal and historical fiction lovers alike!

An uplifting, heartwarming tale that shows that, with friendship and community, anything is possible. Packed with lovable, plucky characters, this novel transported me to the East End in wartime

Gillian Harvey, author of <i>Perfect on Paper</i>

This was a really lovely book with a huge amount of heart. I adored feisty Ruby and rooted for her throughout. I felt I could see, touch and smell east London in WWI. This is a warm, uplifting read, which animal lovers in particular will enjoy

If you read only one First World War saga this year - make it Wartime on Sanctuary Lane
