The Morrow Family of Newgate Street 1940

By: Molly Cutpurse

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

London is burning—and so are the old certainties. As the Blitz begins, one family must fight to hold on to each other, and to everything that makes life worth living. Book Two in the Newgate Street saga.

As war tightens its grip on London, Maud Morrow must summon all her strength to protect her ever-growing family. With a new grandchild in her arms and the daily threat of bombings overhead, the year 1940 demands more from her than ever before.

Navigating the black market, ration books, and nightly air raids, Maud finds herself tested by the next generation—young people pushing boundaries, friends old and new stirring up the past, and the return of Richard, once the love of her life. Amid it all, a familiar face reappears: Miriam, a quiet visitor from another story, bringing with her unexpected wisdom and warmth.

But as the Blitz descends and London burns, the world Maud once knew begins to vanish—and the Morrow family will never be the same again.
