Keeping the home fires burning - Daran Little

It is 1914 and for fifteen-year-old Ena Scholfield, life will never be the same again. As she joins the waving and cheering crowds, Ena watches childhood pals, workmates, and neighbours proudly marching off to War. Ena's friendship with Mission caretaker Gladys Arkswright brings her into daily contact with the occupants of Coronation Street and she is welcomed into a community bereft of young men, but one where there is never a dull moment. Packed full of wartime romance, emotional hardship and resilient humour, Keeping the Home Fires Burning embraces all that the show's twenty million fans love about Coronation Street.
