Two sisters, tragically divided by love, jealousy and ambition ...
For Ruby and Rosetta Capretti life in the slums of the East End holds little promise. Although very similar in looks they dream of very different futures. Coquettish, flamboyant Rosetta is desperate to leave the claustrophobic confines of the sewing sweatshop to follow in her wayward aunt’s footsteps and work under the bright lights of the music hall. Ruby, quieter and more modest, has always longed to train as a nurse - a pipe-dream for a girl from her humble background.
And then, by the side of their father’s grave, they meet handsome Jonas Crowe, but little do they know how much one man will affect both their lives forever ...
Ruby stared after him with a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. She was not afraid of the penance that Father Brennan would hand out in the confessional, but she was afraid of telling Mum that one of Poppa’s strange outbursts of temper had been the cause of them losing money. Ruby shivered as the snowflakes settling on her thin cotton blouse began to melt, sending cold trickles down her neck. She hurried back inside the workshop, blew out the candle and wrapped Rosetta’s wet shawl around her head and shoulders, barely aware of the chill striking through her bones. She would have to think of some way to break the news so that it didn’t sound quite so bad...
