Coronation Street has a brand-new novel out just in time for Mother's Day.
ITV has previously released five books in an on-going series set before the events of the first Coronation Street episode in 1960, as a way to explore the backstories of some of the cobbles' more iconic characters.
The latest entry in this series is A Celebration on Coronation Street: Book 6, which you can order in the UK on Amazon for £9.19 right now.
This paperback takes place as Josie Grimshaw moves to Weatherfield in 1953, beginning the legacy of one of the most beloved families ever on The Street.
Josie's arrival coincides with Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, but her roommate Elsie Lappin isn't feeling much like celebrating since she's recently lost her husband.
