THREE WOMEN. ONE BUILDING. 111 YEARS . . .

East London, 1909. When her family fall on hard times, Ellen finds work in a box factory and is drawn into a tight-knit circle of friendship, one that will transform her life and test her in unexpected ways.

In 1984, the factory is now derelict. Eighteen-year- old Frances moves in with a group of squatters and activists who have taken over the abandoned building. As she tries to build a new life, an unsettling relationship develops, forcing her to question who she is and where her loyalties lie.

In 2020, the squat is now a gentrified conversion in a fashionable corner of the city. Amanda feels trapped in her tiny flat, overwhelmed by the demands of new motherhood and unsure of what the future holds – until the possibility of an alternative life presents itself . . .

My Thoughts:

It is crazy how one building can shape three women’s futures. The story is set in three years and in all of the years I found it unbelievably interesting to read about. You can tell this story has ben researched well and in a lot of detail. I felt as though I learnt things I never would of even thought of let alone knew. It was an interesting insight into three generations of women but with a sensitive touch. I would like this book to be turned into a film, that would be really good.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
