Written for readers who have finished Book 1.
Number twelve, Bethnal Green, is the home Edie is sent away from — a mid-terrace house on a close-packed East-End street, with its Saturday market and its neighbours and its front-door key on a hook in the kitchen. It is the place the whole war is measured against: the home in Edie's head, kept whole in memory and letters while she is far away, and the thing her key is for.
What is in the books, who they are for, and a copy of the England companion novella to read together.
