I always have loved anything that has come from the British Isles. My Mom is from Luton, England. She immigrated to USA in the 1950s. I have visited a few times to England. Luton is known for making hats back in the day. I was told my Nannie worked at one when she was younger. So naturally I was drawn to this book just because of the title.
What a story! Ella was the "hat girl". She had a tough life but she was determined to make her life better. Her talent was in designing and making hats.
I enjoyed the book and landed up reading it in one night. But I will be honest, I was really upset with the ending. It surprised me. I wasn't expecting it to end the way it did. I would love to read a sequel to this book and further follow Bella's journey.
I was About Lindsey Hutchinson
I was born and raised in Wednesbury, West Midlands. I am married with two children and three grandchildren. I now live in the Shropshire countryside with my husband, Labrador and our owl. Typing up the manuscripts for my mother (Meg Hutchinson) rekindled my love of story telling and it seems I am destined to follow in her footsteps. Retired now, I continue to teach an evening dance class. I love to read, I enjoy photography, as well as socialising with friends. I also love to holiday in exotic places. I have been fortunate enough to visit Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Russia, China, India, Israel and Thailand.
I feel truly blessed to have books published; the next, A Winter Baby for Gin Barrel Lane is a follow up to The Children from Gin Barrel Lane and is out on in August 2021, and I'm working on yet another!
I would like to thank all those who have bought my books and especially those who have taken the time to review them. These reviews are very important to an author so... keep 'em coming please! and raised in Wednesbury, West Midlands. I am married with two children and three grandchildren.
