Not my usual genre but downloaded the free sample of "Hide Her Name" and then I just had to read the rest. I find it hard to imagine how the families could have so many children whilst so poor, but then I am not Catholic. This secret is so dangerous that her mother, Maura, and the redoubtable Kathleen, her best friend Nellie’s grandmother, decide the girls must be spirited away quietly to Ireland to await the birth of the baby.So many loose ends to tie up - well done to Nadine Dorries - I only wish I had a fraction of her talent! As for the nuns and priests, even though there are often media reports of the wrongdoinsg of the priesthood, mostly in the past, I find it hard to believe in any civilised country the abbey nuns could have treated the girls so badly. Apart from that, it was both entertaining and very informative regarding the Catholic church and the Irish community in Liverpool and their reasons for wanting to go to America.

She has been MP for Mid Bedfordshire since 2005, and is presently serving as Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. This is another gripping read which I just could not put down (like the other books in the trilogy, I read each one in a day they were that good) and I was so desperate to find out what would happen I stayed up way past my bedtime. It follows on from the four streets and it isn't just a story, it involves a typical Irish close knit community and the problems that go along side it! I thoroughly enjoyed it despite being thought provoking and bringing back memories of my Catholic school. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.But there's more than one reference to blue and white Panda police cars which did not appear on the streets until the mid 1960's. This was the first of this series I had tried and the attitude of some of the priests and nuns is so absolutely what I can imagine. The characters are engaging, the streets scenes cinematic and the theme of the novel powerful' The Times .
