Right from the first page, Carol Hedges paints a vivid picture of parts of a Victorian London that most people would never have seen. If they were lucky, that is. You can almost smell the squalor and poverty oozing from the pages.

I thoroughly enjoyed Honour & Obey, with its tightly woven story of the lives of so many interesting and long-suffering characters.
Like Carol’s previous book, Diamonds & Dust, there are no chapter breaks, ensuring the narration flows seamlessly between the larger than life cast.
As you journey with Carol through the seedy underbelly of Victorian London, all human life is there, struggling to survive. Every conceivable emotion will find you…

Brilliantly written, both books would make wonderful films…
