Kitty makes friends and gets a little job but Tom doesn’t like it at all, he thinks she should stay at home and run the house while he provides for them, I didn’t like that about Tom he was very set in his ways and was a little judgemental for my liking.Their new house is everything Kitty and Tom were hoping for. Although their new neighbours haven’t exactly welcomed them with open arms, Kitty refuses to let anything put a dampener on her enthusiasm. At long last, she and Tom can have the life they’ve always wanted and Kitty is determined that nothing and nobody is going to come between her and her hopes and dreams for the future – until Tom is conscripted in the Navy.

It was so enthralling and descriptive that you felt like one of the residents of Weaver Street . I really felt for Kitty who had to put up with so much and was so frustrated with Tom taking her for granted and yet she still had a positive attitude. Loved the comradeship between the neighbours and how they all helped each other through the hardships of war.Civilians were far more likely to be killed in Belfast than soldiers, policemen or paramilitaries, but many civilians who died were engaged in rioting and therefore ‘combatants’ of a sort.

Weaver Street, Tower Hamlets, London, E1 5FU is within the Spitalfields and Banglatown policing neighbourhood, under the Metropolitan Police Service force area. Set in Liverpool in 1916, it tells the story of Kitty and Tom Conlon, a married couple who arrive from Ireland. They move into 11 Weaver Street, after Tom inherits the house from his great-uncle. Along with Dublin and Cork, Belfast was clearly one of the most violent places in Ireland, but the proportion of civilians killed was far higher in Belfast. While it largely corresponded with the Irish War of Independence, it had a different chronology from events in the rest of Ireland. The first book in a new saga series. Kitty and Tom Conlon arrive in Liverpool in July 1916 to claim the house Tom’s great-uncle has bequeathed him in his will. The move to England couldn’t have come at a better time. Dublin is in turmoil following the Easter Uprising and Kitty’s brother is now in prison.There are a lot of wonderful characters along the way and l loved spending time with Kitty through the highs and the lows of life. Weaver Street in Tower Hamlets is in the London region of England. The postcode is within the Spitalfields & Banglatown ward/electoral division, which is in the constituency of Bethnal Green and Bow. In the early days of the pandemic, seeking ways of escape, I began to research my family tree. I found the accordion-playing great-uncles who raided an east Belfast pub during the Blitz, handing out their spoils in the air-raid shelter like benevolent lords. So along with Dublin and Cork, Belfast was clearly one of the most violent places in Ireland during the entire revolutionary period. What distinguishes it from anywhere else on the island is the degree to which that violence was consciously directed at civilians – 87% of those killed in Belfast were not members of state or Republican combatant organisations. It’s only fairly recently that I discovered how superb Chrissie’s books are. I haven’t read every book that she has written to date which is something I hope to rectify fairly soon. I read the synopsis for ‘Welcome To Weaver Street’ and it certainly sounded like the sort of book that I have come to expect from Chrissie Walsh – an emotional saga which is guaranteed to tug on the heart strings. Well it was that and so much more. I thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘Welcome To Weaver Street’ but more about that in a bit.
