East End Angel

De: Kay Brellend

Narrado por: Annie Aldington

Two sisters living in London’s tough East End … will Jennifer and Kathy be tough enough to survive?

Katherine and Jennifer Finch are like chalk and cheese: Katherine is a midwife, dedicating her life to helping others – and Jennifer is a prostitute.

Leaving home age 15, Jennifer must learn to live on her wits in London’s notorious East End. Soon, however, she is battling drink and drugs, and is pregnant with a child. Her labour is nearly fatal, but her sister steps in to save the day.

Kathy continues to tend to the poor of the East End and help her sister – and she of all people knows that the society that Jennifer keeps is damaging her. Despite her best intentions, however, she begins to fall for an East End wide boy. She knows that he is no good, but her heart will not listen to her head – and what’s more, he has promised to change for her …

This book was excellent, I didn't want it to end. Reading it made me feel like I was living in the era the book was set in.
By Amanda Bicknell

What a wonderful read…having been born near this area l could see the places and people as described, could not wait to read a few more chapters each night but was so sad when l finished it.
By LondonSue

loved this book the sort you pickup and can’t put back down, the setting and characters really come to life, it's as if you can see it and breath it. Wonderful.
By K

Won't buy this author again--foul language.

Would you try another book from Kay Brellend and/or Annie Aldington?

Not from Kay Brelland. Annie is a fairly good narrator. Would listen to her again.

What was most disappointing about Kay Brellend’s story?

All the F-bombs & other bad language. Also didn't like the disgusting situations.

Did Annie Aldington do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Fairly decent at it.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from East End Angel?

All the nasty language. Also would tone down the cheating &lying. Gets depressing.Wife beatings too.

Any additional comments?

I'm not sure if I'll finish it. Will probably ask for my money back. Much prefer Ellie Dean & Donna Douglas.
