A Christmas Gift for the East End Library Girls

De: Patricia McBride

Narrado por: Julie Maisey

A touching story about triumph over tribulation, as the library girls make the most of the festive period

As the war continues, the library girls face their greatest challenge yet...

With the echoes of war reverberating around London, Cordelia, Mavis, and Jane are delighted to be blessed with some good news: the King and his Queen will be making a visit to the East End.

As excitement builds, so does their apprehension. With each passing day, the threat of destruction from air raids increasingly plagues their worried minds.

But with Christmas on the horizon, their morale is at an all-time high, and the girls are determined to display to their esteemed guests all they have done with the library – and with so little.

For Mavis especially, she is more focused on the library than ever – her beloved Joe is still fighting overseas and she is waiting for news on whether she might adopt young Joyce.

But perhaps the royal visit will not be the only Christmas gift she'll be surprised with this year…?

A captivating tale of resilience and determination, perfect for fans of Lizzie Lane, Elaine Roberts and Lesley Eames.

Sweet stories

What I enjoy most about this book series is the variety of characters. It always makes me want to go to a library and just watch who comes and goes. this book is a little oasis in the chaos of the regular world. The situations give you just enough tension to be concerned for the beloved characters, but mostly resolves soon to relieve the stress. So, it is a pleasant and easy read. At this time, there’s one more book in the series and afterwards, I will certainly miss some of the characters.
