Between the wars, the lives of four neighboring English families intersect in this "highly recommended" saga by a New York Times-bestselling author (Sunday Express). In the spring of 1919, his wife's death brings Sergeant Jim Carver home from the front. He returns to be a single parent to his seven children in a place he has never lived: Number Twenty, Manor Park Avenue, in a South London suburb.   The Carvers' neighbor Eunice Fraser, at Number Twenty-Two, has also known tragedy. Her soldier husband was killed, leaving her and her eight-year-old son, Esme, to fend for themselves.   At Number Four, Edith Clegg takes in lodgers and looks after her sister, Becky, whose mind has been shattered by a past trauma.   No one knows much about the Friths, at Number Seventeen, who moved to the Avenue before the war.   The first book in the two-part historical series the Avenue, which also includes The Avenue Goes to War, The Dreaming Suburb takes readers into the everyday lives of these English families between World War I and World War II, as their hopes, dreams, and struggles are played out against a radically changing world.… (mehr)

For some reason I'm getting notices of R.F. Delderfield books on me ebooks offers. I read most of these when they came out in the 1970's and they hold up remarkably well forty years later. This book is part of a two-book story about a suburb of London that beggins right after World War I and ends with the conclusion of the Second World War. This volume takes place from 1919 to 1940. There is no real story arch to this book. Rather it's character studies of the people who inhabit the street, and as such is interesting, both as a study of old-fashioned English "types" and as an historical look at life in England in a now-vanished age. A cozy and entertaining read. ( )

I have a sneaking fondness for Delderfield, whose books are not great literature or hugely revelatory, but who does write involvingly about people at a small scale - a village or an estate or, in this case, an Avenue in the suburbs of London between the wars. ( )
