I liked this book and want to read the next one but there was a few things in it I didn't like. I didn't like the whole ghost thing. If a ghost is there to watch over Nellie then why didn't she save her from Alice? Ghosts are only available at certain times? Also there were times when the sentence just didn't make any sense even after rereading it several times. What I did like about it was that through all the events good or bad it pulled the families together. Showed them that being rich didn't always mean having lots of money. ( )

What a powerful book. I can't wait to read the next two books in the trilogy. Dorries has created characters whom you can see with your mind's eye and whose tears are your tears. In this small area of Liverpool, a predominantly Irish Catholic populace makes do with little or no money. However, they are happy in all senses and when ill luck befalls one of them they all feel it. Anything else I say will spoil it for you so let me just say that it's a must read. ( )

An absorbing family saga set during the 1950s in Liverpool.

I found it an easy and well written read. The story flows along and kept me turning the pages. The characters are interesting, engaging and well rounded. It deals with some delicate issues with sensitivity and it is not overly descriptive or graphic.

There is a great sense of community. The struggles of every day life are depicted insightfully and with finesse. It's a story of not only making ends meet, but how neighbours pull together in times of adversity. It revealed their fighting spirit! I particularly like the chapter where food was collected, cooked and then shared out between the streets.

A realistic and stirring tale which I very much enjoyed.

Many thanks Lovereading.co.uk for sending me an advance reading copy to read and review. ( )
