On the outside the Avenue appeared so peaceful but this is a story of turbulent change, of boom and bust, mass unemployment, new freedoms and restrictions, the Blackshirts, and jazz.
This is the story of five families who live in a quiet avenue in the suburbs of Greater London. It is a story of their hopes and dreams and their mounting fears as war looms and threatens to destroy all that they treasure.
Despite the outbreak of war, and the less than honourable intentions of those left behind, the inhabitants of the Avenue find themselves bound together by their experiences, discovering hidden reserves of courage and humour.
