Book description
The lights of London burn brightly for runaway Kitty Wallis, but their sparkle soon fades when she finds herself alone and destitute in the notorious fog-bound streets of London’s East End. Knowing nothing of surviving in the big city, Kitty comes close to meeting a tragic end until Tibs Tyler, a young prostitute, steps in.
Responsible for finding food and shelter for her innocent companion, Tibs bluffs their way into a dock-side music hall, and a friendship springs up between the two girls. But Tibs must keep looking over her shoulder: she is being stalked by a sinister figure from her past, a brutal pimp who doesn’t care who he hurts to get his own way. And Tibs has a secret, someone she must protect, no matter what…
Tracing the two girls’ struggle to overcome hardship and danger to find happiness, The Lights of London is a rich, dramatic saga of murder and obsession set against the glittering backdrop of turn-of-the-century London.
