About the author

Librarian Note: There is more than one author by this name in the Goodreads database.

Katie Flynn was born in Norwich and attended Norwich High School, where she was extremely happy and extremely undistinguished. Published at the tender age of eight, in Enid Blyton's Sunny Stories, she joined a Writers’ Circle as an adult, publishing short stories, articles, etc; only turning to novels in 1971 because the postal strike cut off her main source of income!
At first she wrote under several different names – Judith Saxton, Judy Turner, Lydia Balmain, Judith Arden – but her Katie Flynn books were a delight to write and proved far more popular than she had dreamed. She has now published nearly ninety novels, twenty-seven of which are Flynns. Her most recent titles are: Lost Days of Summer and Christmas Wishes.

A lovely story. I dont normally enjoy books like this but this kept me very engaged

Another lovely story by Katie Flynn. This one started slowly, but took my interest more and more as I warmed to the characters. The rich girl is Lonnie, or Leonora who at the age of eight, is sent from India, and the only home she's known to live in Liverpool, England with her aunt. It's a good idea as conning to Liverpool is somewhat of a culture shock, young Lonnie and her governess, Hester have a lot to learn.

The begining of this was a little disappointing , not up to miss flynn s normal standard. However I made it to the half way or just before and the book took off into an unputadownable read and therefore gaing the 4 stars.

A nanny has to help her newest charge from family members who want her gone. Will keep you on the edge of your seat.

I really liked this book .. It is so different compared to that of Katie Flynn's original writing style. Moreover I found it likeable as the story is based in Mumbai, India and Liverpool,England(and I'm from India ;though I've lived there only 3 years ) ,so I could really relate to the weather conditions in both places as I now live in England . What a coincidence ...

Heartwarming!

Loved it, simple but a little different than just a dockland story. The Bailey's are the nicest family, and together they can do anything

The buildup here is so cute 🥹 but it honestly was such a long read but idk for me it was worth it

[Craquelin]

Let’s learn about slavery in a museum rather than the library, because that’s more fun. Also, interracial marriage is like a relationship between cats and dogs. Hester literally draws up that analogy to explain why an Englishman wouldn’t consider marrying his daughter’s Indian ayah. “It was a different time” blah blah blah, not buying that. This novel was published in 2002. Please do better.
