Petals in the ashes (Sign of the Sugared Plum #2)

the long version

A tale of survival amid the Great Fire of 1666. Hannah and her sister narrowly escaped the plague, and it appears that it is finally safe to return to their sweetshop in London. Hannah's newfound happiness is short-lived, however, as fires spring up around the city and move ever closer to the Sugared Plum. Will Hannah be able to escape? And even if she does, what will happen to her beloved shop? Mary Hooper has written a gripping sequel to "At the Sign of the Sugared Plum", once again capturing the essence of London in this harrowing - but ultimately hopeful - account of the Great Fire of 1066.
