London Belles is a tale of four very different young women
thrown together by war. Finding freedom and independence as well as
love, passion and heartbreak for the very first time, a unique bond
is formed as the hostilities take their toll on Britain.
Four lives. One war that will change them all.
When tragedy strikes, Olive is forced to seek lodgers. Three
girls come knocking at her door, each in need of a roof over their
heads.
Sally has left Liverpool to work as a nurse in London and when
she arrives she is a shell of her former self. Where once stood a
vivacious, sociable girl, now stands one plagued by homesickness
and a betrayal that is devastatingly fresh in her mind.
Dulcie is living the high life in the West End, a world away
from her home in Stepney. Working at Selfridges gives her access to
the most fashionable clothes and makeup, but at home she is the
black sheep of the family; always second to her sister. So she
decides it's time to make a bid for freedom.
Agnes grew up in an orphanage, having been left on the steps as
a new-born baby. But with war looming, and the orphanage relocating
to the country, she must now seek out a job and lodgings. But with
change comes exciting new opportunities, worlds away from the life
she's known
As the women prepare for war, all of their futures hang in the
balance. Soon their lives will change irrevocably and the home that
binds the London Belles is no longer the sanctuary they once
sought."
