About this product

Product Information

Stratford, 1943. World War Two is still raging across Europe. But for the Lavender Girls, the workers at the Yardley cosmetics factory in East London, there are even more challenges on the home front. Esther, newly married, is learning to juggle life as a working woman with her duties as a wife and homemaker. And she must find a way to help her adopted family on the Shoot, who are battling their own hidden demons . . . Headstrong Patsy, a new recruit at the Yardley factory, has a double life that takes her from the East End lipstick belt by day to the stage in the West End at night. But will she be able to keep her secrets hidden from her controlling mother, Queenie? For bubbly Lou, a forbidden love forces her to choose between family loyalty and a chance at true happiness. Can she be brave enough to forge her own path in the chaos of a war? One thing is certain: the Lavender Girls need one another more than ever if they are going to survive . . .

  • Leaves an imprint on the heart.

    I absolutely love the author Kate Thompson, the amount of research that goes into writing her books is amazing, once I started reading "secrets of the lavender girls" I couldn't put it down, I read it from cover to cover throughout the night. Apart from sore eyes the next morning, the book left an imprint on my heart, it was so touching. I can't help feeling Kate's research must have been heart wrenching at times too. I loved the touch of her putting the research details and original photos within the back pages. Signs of a true author who's passionate about her work. I'm now very much looking forward to her next book. Thank you Kate
