Andrea Hicks
Carrie is so grateful that she can call 99 Nightingale Lane home, and Christmas promises to be one to cherish with her dear friends around her and the first one her son, John will remember, but a cloud hangs over her happiness.
Arnold Bateman, Carrie's estranged husband is back in Whitechapel. He has made it clear to Carrie that he wants her back, not to be a husband to her, but simply for what she now owns. Unknown to Carrie he has visited the house on many occasions to persuade her, but has received constant rebuttals from Ida Coyle, Carrie's loyal cook. When Arnold arrives unannounced on Christmas Eve demanding to be given admittance to the house Carrie is devastated, wondering how she can prevent him from taking what he insists the law says is his. The Belgian refugees, Joshka, Gregor and Asher prevent him from entering, but as he falls into a snow-filled gutter after an altercation with Joshka, he promises Carrie she will lose everything, including her beloved son...and he'll make sure of it.
Follow Carrie's story in this next riveting full-length novel of CHRISTMAS AT 99 NIGHTINGALE LANE.
What readers are saying about 99 Nightingale Lane...
What a gorgeous story. The writing is beautiful and the storytelling is lyrical. I was captured from page one.
When I read a book - it's all about the characters, and 99 Nightingale Lane has multi-dimensional characters that will stay with you long after you've read the last page. I rooted for them and I cried with them.
I was absolutely captivated by the heroine. She's strong and brave despite every reason not to be.
The author takes you from the drawing rooms in London to the teeming streets of Bombay. The writing is so deliciously descriptive I was transported.
If you love stories about women who overcome odds, and if you're looking for the next book to take you away - this is the one. Amazon Reviewer
I loved the Dickensian tone to this page-turning story of romance and tragedy in India, an historical novel depicting class, race, and betrayal. Carrie Dobbs is a heroine from whom the reader can learn about resilience, grit and forgiveness. Highly recommend! Amazon Reviewer
