Description

A violent brawl and an act of kindness set off a chain reaction that would echo through four generations. In 1915, six-year-old Maud witnesses her father's brutal attack and its devastating aftermath. As the years pass, a cycle of fear and hatred between two East London families - the Cotters and the Sleets - becomes increasingly entrenched. The lives of these two families become inextricably linked as they navigate poverty, prosperity, crime, and education. The consequences of that fateful night continue to unfold, shaped by historical events such as women's suffrage, World War, and the rise of the welfare state. Through four generations of women - Harriet, Maud, Elizabeth, and Alex - the story of On Romford Road is told, revealing a complex web of relationships and choices that bind these families together.
