About the Author:
Sheila Newberry was born in Suffolk and spent a lot of time there both before and during the war. Her family has certainly been her inspiration and she has been published most of her adult life. She spent forty years living in Kent with her husband John on a smallholding, and has nine children and twenty-two lively grandchildren. They retired back to Suffolk where Sheila still lives today.
Review:
A full of life story which will take you back to the early 20th century when war was at Europe's doorstep and how people did their best * 27 Book Street * A heart warming tale * Echoes in an Empty Room * It is a sweet story that is nicely written * The Avid Reader * This heartfelt story of poor Cora's ordeal is a moving Christmas tale * The People's Friend * I love the setting of this read. 1936 London, doesn't get much better than that! (...) However, it is a heartfelt story which leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy. A good read for Christmas * Reecaspieces * Beautifully written... This is definitely a story that pulls at the heartstrings. The entire time I was routing for Cora and wishing that every bad turn was followed by a good one. * One More Chapter *
