Secrets to Keep

by Lynda Page

Lynda Page's latest novel is an emotional rollercoaster of hardship and heartache. When a new doctor arrives in the backstreets of Leicester, the locals are outraged by his rudeness and hostility. One of the first to encounter his abruptness is young Aidy Nelson but when she gets the job as his secretary she slowly gets to know him and realises that behind his gruff manner lurks a man with a sorrowful past and secrets he's determined to keep.

Story of surviving day by day when a mother in law breaks a family up. The result leads to seeking employment in an employment starved Leicester. An unpleasant doctor comes into the plot who has secrets from the past he is trying to keep hidden. Includes a bit of rich meets poor and how romance can mix the two, i en joyed it.

I got this book in a book sale we had at work, it's not the type of book I'd usually read but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Normally I would be put off by the long chapters but I couldn't put it down.

A very good read, no major incidents happening, but not really my type of book, I just wanted to know how it finished

[Julia Fairclough · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this but maybe not for you two. It is set in the olden days

[Emma Young · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a book set in the 1930's about a family staying together after the death of their beloved mother. With an elderly grandmother to care for as well as her brother and sisters Aida Nelson tries to keep the family together by making ends meet.
It is a story of courage, strength and determination. It reminds me of my mother's struggles as a single mum.
