Our Emily

ISBN: 0552134449
Author: Mary Jane Staples
Description:
Emily had been a quite horrible child. Pushy, rough, and none too clean (for it must have been Eimly who passed on her head-lice to the Adams family), she had been the bane of Mrs Adams and her children who lived next door, and especially she had been a trial to Boots, who had avoided here whenever he could. But Emily grown-uip was a different mater. She was still a cockney girl, but now she had a certain elegance, a style. The fighting toughness was still there - and she needed it. For Boots, back from the trenches, was blind, and Emily was to prove the mainstay, the beadwinner, the lover of his life.
