From America to Bermondsey, a story of hope, heartbreak and
hardship, by the bestselling author of Custard Tarts and Broken
Hearts. London, 1930. He promised her the earth. She found herself
in hell. Handsome Frank Rossi took Matty Gilbie away from her
working class roots in Bermondsey, East London and promised her
fame and fortune. In America, the Cockney Canary would become a
movie star. As his wife, she would be half of a power couple, feted
and adored by all. But the Wall Street Crash of 1929 puts paid to
all that, and as Frank becomes more violent and unstable, Matty
flees in the dead of night. Once home in Bermondsey, she goes into
hiding and starts desperately looking for work. But only Peak
Freans, the hated biscuit factory, is hiring staff. Then, as a
secret from her past comes back to haunt her, Matty learns that
Frank is on the move, determined to find her and get her back.
