Continuing the saga begun in Annie Murray’s Chocolate Girls, and
set in 1960s Birmingham, The Bells of Bournville Green is a story
of families whose lives are entwined, of belonging and loss . . .
and of a young woman’s search for transforming love. Pretty
seventeen-year-old Greta has never known a stable family life. With
no father, and loathing her mother Ruby’s latest boyfriend, Greta
finds life hard at home and is happiest at work with her friends at
the Cadbury factory in Birmingham, where she is popular with the
boys. Life takes a turn for the worse when her missing vixen of a
sister Marleen turns up during the freezing winter of 1962. Greta
soon decides that her only way out is marriage, but all too soon
she discovers that life with her old classmate Trevor is not a
ticket to freedom and happiness. She finds herself on the streets,
pregnant and homeless . . . She is taken in by her mother’s old
friends, Edie and Anatoli Gruschov. In Anatoli, Greta finds the
father she has never had. Kindly Edie loves to mother people and is
desperately missing her son David and his family, who have settled
in Israel. But the love and security of this haven is soon
shattered by appalling tragedy, which affects all the chocolate
girls and their children and changes life forever . . . The next
novel in Annie Murray's gritty family saga is Secrets of the
Chocolate Girls
