Corner House Girls
The story begins at the outset of the war and revolves around the lives of six Lyon¿s Corner House Waitresses or ¿Nippies¿ as they are known for their speedy service. Each girl has a different personality, different family background and different experience of London in the Blitz. There are happy homes and less happy ones; there are brothers and lovers in the forces; there are children evacuated to the countryside and there are relationships that end in romance and tragedy. The Corner House with its high turnover of customers and interesting variety of staff provides the perfect backdrop for this heart-warming tale of war, love and loss, and Lilian Harry¿s vivid characters bring to life this fascinating period in British history.

The Weaver's Dream
The Weaver's Dream was first published in paperback under the name Donna Baker. London, 1824. Life has taken Rebecca far from her humble start in a weaver's cottage in Kidderminster. But although she has found love and comfort with her husband, Francis, it has meant they are both banished from the town that raised them. Instead they must raise their family - and a new business in the bustle of the capital. But when a death finally draws them home to Worcestershire, they find the landscape unchanged, but the poverty increased. Amid the smoke of the factories and the clatter of machinery there is also the growing murmur of unrest as the workers search for a way to express their discontent. For Rebecca, Francis and their young family it means being torn between family duty and sympathy for the weavers' plight. And while they have a dream for the future, will it be strong enough to survive the turmoil ahead?
