About this listen

An emotional, heart-wrenching historical family saga from TOP TEN bestselling author Lindsey Hutchinson

Ten-year-old Jack Larkin has seen more than his fair share of shocking sights, growing up in the notorious Crown Saloon.

Broken hearts and broken bones are just a fact of life in a Gin Palace, but for orphan Dolly, the Crown is her last hope. After the death of her mother, Dolly ran away from her sleazy step father Arthur, only to find herself living on the streets. When Jack discovers her hiding in the back yard of The Crown, he persuades his mother Nellie Larkin, to take Dolly in.

But Dolly has a secret - a very valuable secret - and Arthur is determined to get his clutches on her at any cost. And when local hard-man Ezra Morton joins in the hunt, the Larkins may have to risk everything to keep Dolly safe…

The Queen of the Black Country sagas is back with a gripping, heart-warming, laugh-out-loud story to remember. Perfect for fans of Val Wood and Lyn Andrews.

BOSIN'

I've listened to a few of Lindsey Hutchinson's books and loved them all, this one is no exception, excellent story, characters are very real and endearing. This made me titter, laugh out loud and hold my breath. Fully recommend you read it, now onto books 2. ☺️

The children from gin barrel lane

Loved listening to this book I remember Birmingham in the late 50's & that to me heightens the joy of listening to this books. I look forward to listening to more in this series and I hope it is the same narrator.

I did not like the voice of the narrator

Even though it was a good story I could not get to grips with the narrator her voice just did not fit the story line which was a shame as it was a good story.
