We're giving away five signed copies of Sunderland author Glenda Young's new book
The third in a trilogy based on a North East toffee factory is set to be released - and city author Glenda Young hopes it will be a sweet success.
Telling the story of three young women who work together, and share secrets, in a sweet factory, The Toffee Factory Girls is from the pen of successful Sunderland author Glenda Young and is inspired by Horner's toffee factory and Dainty Dinah toffee of Chester-le-Street.
Celebrations at the Toffee Factory, released at the end of May, is the third and final in the trilogy - and we have five signed copies to give away.
It follows fun and feisty Elsie who longs for freedom and excitement. Hoping to meet the man of her dreams, she spurns the attention of dependable Stan.
Will she realise that what she wants and what she needs are different things?
Efficient Anne, meanwhile, takes control at the factory to change its fortunes after the war.
She creates a new line of toffee. However, an unwelcome blast from Mr Jack’s past tries to jeopardise the factory’s success.
And Hetty is torn when her sweetheart Dirk prepares to leave for his hometown in Belgium. At the same time, her old boyfriend Bob returns from the Front, determined to marry her. Who will Hetty choose?
The book will be launched at independent bookshop Featherbed Books in Houghton on Thursday, May 21 from 12 – 2pm and all are welcome.
