The Brothers: The gripping new novel for 2023 from the No.1

I was born and raised in the east end of London in the 1950s and early 60s. OK, my parents worked, but we were not well off at all. Yet, there was none of the behaviour described in the book locally whatsoever. I recognised some of the descriptions and references, those which were true to the times, such as rationing, queues in the shops, helping our neighbours and the reminders of the war all around us, but not the characters portrayed. There wasn't a likeable character at all. So much violence and theft, most of it condoned by the parents. You know what you are getting with Kimberley Chambers and rarely does she disappoint. This time we begin in Summer 1939 when Hitler had just invaded Poland. The Wade family are a step above the East End slum-dwellers. They have a 2-bed house and a hot meal on the table every day. The family consists of mum, dad and two daughters. One of those daughters is 12-year-old Queenie. I read a lot but! I can honestly say… I love this author, amazing. Need another book of yours asap. Xxx Reply My first book Billie-Jo took me a year to write. I was working nights as a minicab driver and writing during the day.

It was then that she received a phone-call from her friend Hazel, who asked if she wanted to take a hair dressing course. It was then that Chambers decided to try her hand at writing a novel. A few days later, she began writing her premiere novel Billie Jo. When she told her family about her new aspirations, they believed that it was a fad and that she would grow tired of this new venture as well.

I loved The Butler series and loved Queenie as a character, this book tells her story from her life as a young girl during World War II up to the 60's. This is a great book to immerse yourself in and for fans of the Butlers a must read that cant disappoint and brings a huge feel good factor to her fans and readers Given Alfie Butler’s weak nature, Queenie makes it her responsibility to mold her three boys into men. Omg just finished the trilogy mitchells vs o haras. Read queenie also. Addicted now…bring in the next Reply

The Future for Kimberley Chambers and Payback

Everything however changes when she learns a dreadful secret which threatens to destroy her family. Kimberley Chambers on her explosive new thriller, Life of Crime". killerreads.com . Retrieved 11 June 2018. I probably could drop a star as it didn't have the intensity or the rollercoaster ride of the previous books but, as I did enjoy it and couldn't stop reading it, it gets the full FIVE STARS from me. There was some great characters in the book and the setting made the story so realistic you could visualise it. Quite a long book but the storyline kept me hooked. Born and raised in Dagenham, Kimberley dropped out of school at the age of sixteen and wasn’t sure of what to do with her life.
