Queenie

The No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller from the No. 1 author - as featured on BBC Radio 2 Rylan on Saturday - Radio 4 Front Row - BBC Breakfast!* SHE WAS MADE IN THE EAST END . . . For young Queenie, life in the backstreets of Whitechapel was a lesson in survival - Hitler's bombs hit those with nothing the hardest. When danger strikes close to home, Queenie finds an ally in Mrs O'Leary, whose two sons are the kingpins of the East End. But while the O'Learys are the light in Queenie's life, fate has a different path in store. AND MEN ARE WHAT THEIR MOTHERS MAKE THEM . . . Now married to the useless Albie Butler, Queenie is raising her children to fight their own battles. If the O'Learys taught her anything, it was that surviving meant doing whatever you had to, no questions asked, and family always comes first. The Butler boys will make sure their mother's name becomes East End legend. MEET QUEENIE. THIS IS HER STORY.
