Customer Reviews

Romance, wartime intrigue, jealousy and more.

To Lady Winthrop's watchful eye, looking down from her window seat, two skaters stand out that traverse the frozen river each day, which is the titled "Street of the City". When her new neighbor is stricken down from overwork and fatigue, she calls for help of a dependable young man who was always one of her town favorites. He (Val) attends to the sick woman, whose eldest daughter (Fran) he champions later at work. They prove to be the two skaters the lady had admired. Saboteurs strike at the weapons plants in the area and both young people are tangled in the intrigue. A spoiled rich, emotionally tone-deaf hussy sets her sights on Val and attempts to discredit Fran. Another highlight is an inspiring conversion story interwoven throughout this wonderful Grace Livingston Hill romance.

A wonderful book!

I would highly recommend this book to anyone. It's a great and decent love story. I'd give it more stars if I could!

The Street of the City

This book gives the reader a wonderful sense of how America appeared during World War II. Everything is good and wholesome in the world of the characters and by this, the reader is taken far from the society of today. This book is for you if you are facinated with the 1930's and 1940's, love a good romance without all the sex, and have a deep belief in God. It is, without a doubt, my favorite book.
