About this listen
London, 1935. Ruby is always hungry, but she will go without if it means her young brothers can eat. 1930s Bermondsey might be called the larder of London, with its pie, pickle and jam factories, but for the poor working classes, starvation is often only a heartbeat away.
When Ruby's neighbour suggests she ought to go to the Methodist Mission for free food, Ruby knows her father will be furious, but she has no other option. It is a decision that will change the course of her life forever, split her family and in the end lead her to face a terrible choice between duty and a great love.
A heartfelt saga from the best-selling author of Custard Tarts and Broken Hearts.

Unusual storyline
I love Mary Gibson's tales of Bermondsey and find the social history of the day to day struggles being brought to life really gripping and interesting. Although I enjoyed the story, this one is my least favourite. the tales of the "Black shirts" and every day factory workers worked really well, I just found the constant biblical references a bit much. I understand the need to portray Ruby as a true Methodist believer but at times it got a bit tedious. The rest of the characters were really well thought out though and I'm looking forward to the next book.

Great read
Great story line that was truly true to that time in history. So many parts of the story were real page turner. Well read by the narrator
