"Saved by Love: A Story of London Streets" by Emma Leslie is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the struggles of two young girls, Susie and Elfie, as they navigate life on the harsh streets of London following personal tragedies. It delves into themes of poverty, friendship, love, and the search for hope and redemption amid despair. The beginning of the story introduces Susie, a recently orphaned girl, who is grieving the loss of her mother and has no one to care for her. She encounters Elfie, a street-smart girl who has her own troubled background and lacks understanding of parental love. As the two form a bond, they discuss their hardships, with Elfie revealing her brashness and resilience while Susie embodies a hopeful disposition rooted in faith. The initial chapters lay a poignant foundation for their relationship, highlighting their contrasting lives and perceptions, and foreshadowing the challenges they will face together in their quest to survive and thrive in their unforgiving environment.
