The toughest street in London, Campbell Road, is due for demolition. One of the last residents remaining, Matilda Kiever, born and bred on the street, remembers many things about the past, not least what really happened to Christopher WildтАЩs mum, Pamela. Christopher thought she was dead, but it turns out she is very much alive.
Meanwhile, Coronation Day is just around the corner and the street will be having the biggest party it has ever seen. But Christopher is about to get drawn into one hell of a ding dong тАУ and Campbell Road is going to have one last knees up that no one will ever forget.
Kay Brellend, the third of six children, was born in North London but now lives in a Victorian farmhouse in Suffolk. Under a pseudonym she has written sixteen historical novels published in England and North America. This is her second novel, set in the twentieth century, and was inspired by her grandmother's reminiscences about her early life in Campbell Road, Islington.
