Last summer my amazingly talented friend published The Stepney Doorstep Society, chronicling the incredible true-life stories of the women who held London’s East End together during two world wars.
Nothing will humble you more quickly than the words and memories of these Cockney cornerstones, including Minksie Gladys, Beatty, Joan and Girl Walker, as they recall the joys and heartbreak of life in war-torn London and the indomitable East End spirit.
The paperback version of The Stepney Doorstep Society has just been released (the perfect Mother’s Day gift, right?) and to celebrate I’m giving one reader the chance to win a signed copy AND the perfect excuse for a little me-time break – a tin of earl grey tea and a packet of fancy chocolate biscuits.
