”A moving and bittersweet story” Sun

Keeping My Sister’s Secrets by Beezy Marsh is the heartwarming true story of three sisters and their fearless fight to survive the hardships of poverty and war – by whatever means necessary.

Born into a close-knit working class family in the slums of London’s Waterloo, Eva, Peggy and Kathleen are three remarkably different, but very loving sisters. Desperate to escape their violent father, they find different ways to survive.

Beautiful Kathleen escapes into marriage with an abusive man, and during the horrors of the Second World War, falls in love again – this time with an American GI. Peggy, serious and studious, is appalled by conditions in the factories and becomes a communist, desperate to help her fellow workers. The rebellious sister, Eva, will do anything to protect her family – even if it means breaking the law to put dinner on the table.

Living closely together, the sisters support each other through thick and thin – their story is a moving tale of unconditional love, the one constant in a changing world.
