Edinburgh, 1953.Kirsten Mowat, eighteen years old and with a joyful spring in her step, couldn’t be more in love with her sea-faring sweetheart Duncan Armstrong.
But, seven years later – after a hasty wedding, a twist of lies and wrenching loss – Duncan and Kirsten’s relationship has faded to tatters. When those closest to her turn their backs, Kirsten – alone, with a young family to care for – must gather all her spirit and strength if they are to survive.
From much-loved Millie Gray, The House on Rosebank Lane is an Edinburgh story of families entwined, of sorrow and hopefulness . . . and of a young mother’s love for her children and a transforming quest for happiness. 

My Review 

I haven’t read any books published by Millie Gray before, but since reading The House on Rosebank Lane, I’m very keen to read more of her books. 

For me personally there was a roller coaster story and tears during this very much loved story.

Kirsten Mowat, was deeply in love with her boyfriend Duncan. When she confesses to Duncan, that she is pregnant, they get married in secret. Once they are married, Kirsten has another confession, she isn’t pregnant. But there’s plenty of time for Kirsten and Duncan to have children now they are husband and wife. When they tell their mothers, that they just got married, the reader is taken through both sides of families in what they think about both of them getting married without telling anyone. I did feel sorry for Kirsten as her husband takes a job that means he will be away for two years. I recommend this book that has love and heartbreak and tears.
