They’ve survived the war. Can they survive what follows?

The Farrans of Fellmonger Street follows a young family as they struggle to survive abandonment, danger and troubling complications. From much-loved author Harry Bowling. Perfect for fans of Cathy Sharp and Pam Evans.


When widowed Ida Farran runs off with a bus inspector in 1949, she leaves her five children to fend for themselves. Preoccupied with the day-to-day task of earning enough money to keep the family together, eighteen-year-old Rose battles bravely on, thankful for the mysterious benefactor who pays the rent on their flat in Imperial Buildings on Fellmonger Street. Life isn’t easy but between them, Rose and her younger brother Don just about manage to make ends meet.

Recently, however, Don has become rather too friendly with the Morgan boys. Everyone knows the small-time Bermondsey villains are a bad lot. But even this concern pales into insignificance when Rose finds herself pregnant. Now it’ll need a miracle to keep the Farrans of Fellmonger Street together.

Reviews

Independent
Poignant, nostalgic - but not romanticised - stories of good-hearted ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances
Today Magazine
What makes Harry's novels work is their warmth and authenticity. Their spirit comes from the author himself and his abiding memories of family life as it was once lived in the slums of southeast London
