Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The new springtime romance from best-selling author Katie Flynn.
It's 1938, and Cadi is chosen to be Rose Queen in the annual Rose Fete. She is thrilled to be treated like royalty for the day. But deep down she is desperate to leave the Welsh mining community where she grew up.
When war is declared, Cadi and her best friend, Poppy, see a chance to escape. Cadi leaves behind her parents and local boy Aled, whom she is meant to marry, for Liverpool.
But city life doesn't bring the opportunities they'd hoped for. Unable to join the forces, the girls are left looking for work in poverty-stricken Vauxhall Ward.
They secure jobs in a local pub, and Cadi's blossoming relationship with a handsome dock worker deepens after he rescues her from a terrifying encounter.
But when Aled unexpectedly appears dressed in RAF uniform Cadi finds her worlds colliding again. Now the Rose Queen must decide: who will become her king?

Slow !
I liked it but it was too slow, and too long.
When it got to Izzy and Eric I was in suspense. It was brilliant.
But when she'd gone it was just about her and boring again.

Fabulous read
This writer Katie Flynn is really someone I’m getting into. It was read by my favourite narrator Ann Dover who in my opinion has got to be the best. Set in Wales and then in Liverpool. This book was brilliant and I can’t wait to hear the following book.

Th3 Rose Queen
Bit slow to start but not for long. One of the best books I’ve read for a long time. I was born in 1938 and it really was true to the time. Really took me back even though I was a child. You never forget times like that and it was good and sad to remember. Thank you Katie

A decent read!
After a slow start, the story took off and I became involved. The ‘ordinary’ families and friends introspectively explore their own immaturities with each other to develop their individual strengths to cope with the continuous changes war presents. I applaud the narration. It’s worth a listen!
