This book was a lovely read, like all her books. It was a easy read and I really liked Clara and her sisters

Lots of twists and turns, but I never guessed what it was, especially with Luke. Great story line

This book is a great read and you will not be disappointed

I really enjoyed this book, it was a quick easy read with likeable characters and interesting twists. I really liked Clara and all her sisters, I think spin off books for her sisters would be a really interesting idea! I loved how independent Clara was, I realised fairly soon there must be some kind of twist concerning Luke's character but I totally didn't guess what it was at all.

Overall a lovely book and definitely worth a read.

A lovely tale set back in time. Life is harsh for Clara but when a chance of being saved comes will she oose her dreams. I love stories like this. Dilly Court is amazing with words taking her reader straight into the heart of the action.

Clara Carter found a button glimmering like a jewel in the dark alleyways of London's notorious Seven Dials. She lived with her father and four sisters but her father was a drunken gambler. He gambled everything they had and was in debt to the notorious and terrifying Patches Braggs the leader of one of the East Ends roughest gangs. It's now on Clara's shoulders to save her family from destitution. Clara has always dreamed of owning her own shop. Will she fulfill her dreams?

I have read all of Dilly Courts books and I have enjoyed them all. This is a tale of a families struggle to pay off their fathers debt and keep a roof over their head and food on the table. The new friends they make along the way. Of Clara going to Paris only to find she has been cheated, abandoned and alone with hardly any money left. Dilly Court has a style of writing that draws you in to her story and you can imagine living in the era. Loved it.

I would like to thank NetGalley, HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction and the author Dilly Court for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.
