Cathy Sharp writes historical saga fiction set in London’s East End, with orphaned children, working families and women facing hardship at the centre of her stories. The Halfpenny Orphans series begins with The Orphans of Halfpenny Street and continues through books about children growing up amid poverty, war and the search for belonging. Her East End Daughters novels shift toward sisters and young women negotiating marriage, work and family expectations across the same neighbourhood. Sharp’s style is straightforward and plot-led, using familiar streets, homes and institutions to connect generations of characters. Her Halfpenny Street and East End books are most likely to suit readers of Dilly Court and Nadine Dorries who enjoy London family sagas built around hardship, neighbourhood ties and young women finding their place.
