Thorpughly enjoyed this book from Lizzie Lane start of a new series and there is so many interesting characters i, i can't wait for book two.

I Just love lizzie lanes writing. You get so Connected to the Main characters, it feels like you are a part of their daily lives. . I love the characters , the nosey the quirky. The friendships chefs kiss. . Thank you to netgalley for letting me read this e arc in exchange for an honest opinion

Five stars for this and I would give it more if I could! A great story with marvelous characters. Jenny is the central person in the story and I loved her. Life was terribly hard and the sheer grinding poverty was well depicted. Every single day was a struggle. Her husband is a law unto himself and she's terrified of him. She does everything she can to protect her two daughters and try to make life more bearable for them.
You might think this would be a depressing read but it's not due to the excellent writing. Every character and there are quite a few, were totally believable, well fleshed out and I felt I knew them personally by the end of the book.. Thelma who lives in Coronation Close already when Jenny moves in, is an absolute hoot!!
There are some dark moments in the part that deals with The Black Shirts. These were certainly scary times to live through and it was great getting to know about this period in history.
I read this in one sitting.
This is a first book of a series and I absolutely cannot wait for the next one!

Not many of this authors books I haven't read. I absolutely loved this first book of a new series Lizzie Lane has a way of drawing you right in, amazing characters that I will often think about randomly. I look forward to reading more.

The story is set in the 1930s and centres around Jenny, a young mother of two girls, married to Roy, who lives in a run down tenement block. Roy is a chauvinistic bully, who resents his wife having any life outside of cooking & cleaning for him – Jenny is a little more educated that Roy & often wonders what exactly she saw in him! When Roy takes on more work at the docks, he starts to become involved with politics and particularly resents Jenny’s friendship with an elderly Jewish couple Ruth & Isaac who live in the same tenement. When he later joins Oswald Moseley’s British Union of Fascists “black shirts” his views get more extreme, but he is also able to use his contacts to get them a council house in the suburbs. Jenny is delighted with the property in Coronation Close and whilst she misses her old neighbours, she starts to build friendships with some of her new neighbours.

As the first book in the series, plenty of time is devoted to establishing the characters, but this leaves the storyline a little light. However it is a good start to the series with plenty of unanswered questions and characters that can become more prominent in future stories. I hope that Jenny does reach her true potential as the war looms closer.
The book will appeal to anyone who enjoys the historical fiction family saga genre.

Loved this instantly. Couldn’t put it down, as I was keen to know what happened next.
Jenny Crawford lives by the belief that she must obey her husband Roy, living life to his strict rules. Even when this leaves Jenny and his two daughter not knowing where the next meal is coming from. Then fortunes change when Roy gets more work down the docks. Roy takes part as a blackshirt for Oswald Mosley. This gets him contacts in the right organisation to get them a house. Jenny is delighted with her new home in Coronation Close, mainly because it has a garden. She misses her old neighbours Isaac and Ruth , then over time starts to get friendly with new neighbour Thelma who helps bring her out more.
Thelma was definitely my favourite character. I do hope there will be a follow up!

I was excited to see Lizzie Lane had a new saga. As usual she did not disappoint and all the characters throughout the book draw you into the stories of their lives in coronation Street. Very enjoyable and I look forward to reading more of this series. .

What a fantastic book, this is the first of a new series and I really enjoyed reading it.

Can’t wait for the next instalment, this is perfect for fans of family sagas

The start a of a great new series, New Neighbours For Coronation Close. Jenny is married to Roy a nasty vicious bully, he rules Jenny life, beating her and keeping her short of money. They live in a run down tenement, until Jenny finally gets a council with the garden she’s always dreamed of. Life is looking good for her and her two girls, especially as Roy is working away and is never home. She meets new friends and can finally begin to be happy. Really enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the 2nd one.

Edward will soon be King. The families on Coronation Close are getting ready to celebrate the occasion.

Jenny finally got her dream home but at a cost. Her husband, Roy, is one nasty fellow. I would like to ring his neck.

With the move, Jenny met new friends. These friends helped her through the toughest periods.

I loved the book. I enjoyed the storyline and the characters in the story. I am waiting patiently for the next book in this new series.

What is going to happen to Jenny? What path does she want to take? Will her next door neighbor let the people know his/her identity? Can Thelma, Jenny's closest friend, get over Edward's abdication?

Firstly, thank you, Netgalley for this ARC

What a brilliant, start a new series can’t wait to read more. Family saga at its best.
