It is 1948, and England is recovering from a war. But at 21 Nevern Street, London, the conflict has only just begun. Queenie Bligh's neighbours do not approve when she agrees to take in Jamaican lodgers. Gilbert Joseph was one of the several thousand Jamaican men who joined the RAF to fight against Hitler. Returning to England as a civilian he finds himself treated very differently. It's desperation that makes him remember a wartime friendship with Queenie and knock at her door. Gilbert's wife Hortense, too, had longed to leave Jamaica and start a better life in England. But when she joins him she is shocked that London is far from the golden city of her dreams. Even Gilbert is not the man she thought he was.

(Nesten) alle bøkene som Rory Gilmore i serien "Gilmore Girls" leste eller nevnte!
I år er det 20 år siden den aller første Baileys womens prize for fiction ble kåret og dette vil jeg feire med å lese alle bøkene.
Part 3 av bøkene fra Gilmore Girls ♥
