About the Author:
Part of Pip Granger's early childhood was spent in the back seat of a light aircraft as her father smuggled brandy, tobacco and books across the English Channel to be sold in 1950s Soho, where she lived above the Two Is Cafe in Old Compton Street. She worked as a Special Needs teacher in Hackney in the 1980s, before quitting teaching to pursue her long cherished ambition to write. She now lives in Somerset with her husband.
Review:
"A wonderfully warm debut novel told with humour, charm and compassion ... I loved it, as will anyone who enjoys reading a good story, delightfully told" * Gilda O'Neil, for NOT ALL TARTS ARE APPLE * "A poignant story with a strong authentic backdrop" * Woman and Home for THE WIDOW GINGER * "She brings the East End to life" * Barbara Windsor for TROUBLE IN PARADISE * "Granger is unique in popular fiction in that she is able to tie in a fictional family saga with the big social changes going on in post war London" * What's On in London for NO PEACE FOR THE WICKED *
