Strong-willed Winnie loves being part of the crew at Station Seventy-Five but her parents are less than happy. She has managed to avoid their pleas to join the WRENS so far but when a tragedy hits too close to home she finds herself wondering if she’s cut out for this life after all.
Former housemaid Bella was forced to leave the place she loved when she lost it all and it’s taken her a while to find somewhere else to call home. She’s finally starting to build a new life but when the air raids begin, it seems she may have to start over once again.
East-Ender Frankie’s sense of loyalty keeps her tied to home so it’s not easy for her to stay focused at work. With her head and heart pulling in different directions, will she find the strength to come through for her friends when they need her the most?
Brought together at LAAS Station Seventy-Five in London’s East End during 1940, these three very different women soon realise that they’ll need each other if they’re to get through the days ahead. But can the ties of friendship, love and family all remain unbroken?
A gorgeously uplifting saga for fans of Ellie Dean and Donna Douglas
What readers say about East End Angels:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – “A wonderful read so true — my mother was an ambulance driver in London during the WW2 she told my stories some with a good outcome ,some so sad. Rosie has captured conditions,the people’s fears and the friendships formed spot on.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – “As soon as I opened up the book I felt myself transported back in time. Rosie Hendry has a beautiful way of writing that completely draws the reader into the story. I could hear the bombs and smell the smoke as I totally and utterly got swept away. The descriptions throughout the book are incredible and it was very easy to visualise every detail as I was reading.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – “East End Angels is one brilliant work of historical fiction. I loved how the author brought three girls from totally different classes of life and made the girls the best of friends. It is wonderfully written bringing historical facts into a work of fiction made this a book I could relate to and enjoy in so many levels. I would also like to recommend the audible version which is narrated by the very talented Annie Aldington who brought a voice to each of the characters and her way of bringing life to her narration is clearly evident throughout the audible version.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – “East End Angels tells the story of three fascinating women and their journey through ww2. The novel is the first in a series and perfectly builds the foundations for further novels. The three women are all very different in personality and I look forward to watching them grow and develop through the series.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – “A very well written and researched, warm-hearted book. Mainly concentrating on three young women, it tells the story of how people from different backgrounds and lifestyles worked together as part of the London ambulance service during the second world war. With a bit of romance added to the mix it’s a real winner! Can’t wait for more.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – “One of the best wartime stories yet. looking for more from Rosie. Hendry with anticipation and hope. Well done.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – “First Rosie Hendry book for me but not my last. What fabulous stories about the ambulance drivers in the 2nd world war. It took me there. A must read.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – “Couldn’t put it down and now looking forward to the next one. Best way to spend Sunday.”
