The best things in life happen when you least expect them. Nat's husband has just said the six words no one wants to hear - 'I don't love you any more'. Caroline's estranged mother has to move into her house, turning her perfectly ordered world upside down. Living on the same street, these two women couldn't be more different. Until the beloved local community centre is threatened with closure. And when the only way to save it is to form a community choir - none of the Hope Street residents, least of all Nat and Caroline, expect the results....

Life is about to change forever.... Heather is finally back on Hope Street after running from the memories for so long. She hasn’t bumped into many neighbours yet, but with her upcoming wedding to plan there’s plenty to keep her busy! Fran is still trying to get used to a life without her husband by her side. It’s hard enough raising two children on her own - she doesn’t have time to even think about dating.... Pamela is fed up with being taken for granted by her grown-up children and grumbling husband. She’s ready to shake things up a little, but will her family even notice?

Eigentlich wollte sich Gertie mit Anfang sechzig zur Ruhe setzen. Aber dann bricht der Krieg aus, und die Welt der Londoner Buchhändlerin wird komplett durcheinandergewirbelt. Vor allem als sie ein jüdisches Flüchtlingsmädchen aus München aufnimmt. Erst die Liebe zur Literatur bringt die beiden Frauen einander näher. Als sie beim nächsten Fliegeralarm in einem Bunker Schutz suchen, liest Hedy einem kleinen verängstigten Jungen etwas vor – eine willkommene Ablenkung für alle. Gertie und Hedy nehmen nun jedes Mal, wenn der Alarm ertönt, ein Buch mit.
