The Way Home

The next book in a compelling saga series set during WW2, based on the lives of the female factory workers at Barratt's Sweet Factory. Inspired by the true stories from the author's grandmother, the Barratt's Sweet Factory sagas bring to life wartime London, celebrating the everyday heroism of families who fought to rise above their circumstances. This book sees Livvie working in the field hospitals of France, facing the horrors of war whilst still trying to keep her family together. Perfect for fans of Rosie Goodwin, Maureen Lee and Nadine Dorries.

Kay Brellend never imagined she would become a writer, certainly not a writer of novels inspired by her own family. Kay's Campbell Road series, set in the 'worst street in London' follows the same Islington family covering the years between WW1 and WW2. The Campbell Road series of books has been an absorbing journey and she has learned much about the toughness and resilience of her ancestors: Kay feels pride in her roots in the worst street in north London.

Her new series, published by Piatkus, is set in North London in 1913 and tells the stories of the families who work for Barratts Sweet Factory. It has all the heart, grit and personal connection that distinguishes her as one of the most exciting voices in the saga genre.
