Ironmonger's Daughter by Harry Bowling
This book is Headline's 20th Anniversary Edition. The classic novel from the much-loved King of Cockney sagas Ironmonger Street in 1920 is one of the most unsightly turnings in Bermondsey, its residents hardened to the grim poverty of their lives. In Jubilee Dwellings, two sisters give birth to daughters: one illegitimate, the other disabled. Connie and Molly grow up together, playing in the gutters. Life may be hard but they wouldn't be parted for the world. Until Connie gets a job at the metal factory and meets the handsome Robert Armitage.
'Poignant, nostalgic - but not romanticised - stories of good-hearted ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances' - Independent

Headline worked with him for over ten years, ever since the publication of his first novel, and we miss him enormously, as do his many fans around the world.
