The Mothers of Quality Street: A warm historical novel full of friendship and community – the perfect read to curl up with this Christmas (Quality Street, Book 2)

The ups and down of three plucky factory girls, set in Britain’s best loved wrapped chocolate factory. The Quality Street Factory is fizzing with the news that the King and Queen and the two young princesses, Elizabeth and Margaret Rose, are going to visit the Mackintosh Factory where the country’s favourite wrapped chocolate is made. The factory floor is heady with excitement but plans are dealt a blow when a much loved staff member is the victim of a poisoning incident. Everyone is under suspicion, which only adds to Reenie Calder’s woes, anxious that her new promotion has only made her stick out even more like a sore thumb. Can she and her friends, Mary and Diana, get their heads together and find the malicious troublemaker before something unthinkable happens? In the top echelons of the 20th century's small town life, the historical fiction of The Mothers of Quality Street takes a dramatic turn. The romance and family sagas of the factory girls add a layer of complexity to the narrative, making it a must-read for fans of the genre. For fans of Betty Firth (A Wartime Christmas in the Dales), Elaine Everest (The Teashop Girls at War), Lesley Eames (Wedding Bells at the Wartime Bookshop), Mary Wood (The Guernsey Girls Find Peace), and Vicki Beeby (The Ops Room Girls).
