Always There

by Pamela Evans

Amidst the turmoil and disruption of 1950s Notting Hill, young mother Daisy Rivers has created a small pocket of tranquility in the bedsit she shares with her two daughters. Her life is by no means perfect but it is a far cry from the lonely years she spent in an orphanage as a child. Meanwhile in the plush surroundings of the Cliff Head Hotel in Torquay, June, the sister Daisy hasn't seen since they were separated by adoption, is close to despair. A life of wealth and privilege and a happy marriage aren't enough to erase the legacies of her past and a terrible secret, ignored for too long, forces her to seek out the sister she hasn't seen in almost twenty years...

I absolutely loved this, although Daisy frustrated me occasionally by not thinking of the most sensible thing for everyone when she had suggestions put to her. It showed the best and worst of parenting too - hated Irene's character, did mothers in law in those days REALLY demand answers from their daughters in law about when they planned to have babies, in the manner that Irene went about it??? I loved the character of Nora too, she had no actual family but was rich in company with Daisy and June's family.

Good read

Enjoyed this book immensely couldn't put t down. In places it was predictable but still a good, relaxing read of a family living in London, giving a trip down memory lane to a fellow Londoner who grew up there but now lives a quiet retirement in Wales.
