Dead to Me - Lesley Pearse

Two very different women, one unlikely friendship. In the chaos of war-torn Britain, can any relationship survive?

Spring 1935. On London's Hampstead Heath two girls meet by chance: well-mannered and smartly dressed Verity and dishevelled and grubby Ruby. Yet the mismatched pair form an instant friendship strong enough to survive their parent's disapproval.

When war engulfs the country - sending Ruby to Devon while Verity struggles to find a new beginning under a shadow from her past - the girls are convinced they will always be there for each other.

Until the day one breaks the other's heart ... Can Verity and Ruby find a way back to each other before it's too late?
A story about loyalty, love and the strength of friendship in the face of adversity, from international number one bestselling author.
