Product Description
Book Description
The author of BORN EVIL really spreads her wings in this gritty, warmhearted East End family epic, spanning four decades.
Product Description
Based in Stepney, this book is set on a rough and ready council estate, in the heart of London's East End. A story that starts in 1975 ends in 2005, it tells the trials and tribulations of the Hutton family. Maureen - the gutsy mum, separated from her alcoholic husband, she scrimps and saves for years to bring up her children and instil life's good values in them. She tries her utmost, but with only moderate success. Tommy, the eldest son, does ten years for murder. On his release he promises to go straight. The trouble is that the underworld beckons and he struggles to keep his promise. Susan, the daughter, unpopular and spiteful as a child, she finally makes her family proud when she gets pregnant and moves in with her boyfriend. But what has she forgotten to tell him? James, the youngest son. Does mummy's blue-eyed boy stay on the straight and narrow? Or does he get stuck into a life of crime, just like his elder brother? Ethel - gran and mother-in-law. A wise old owl, granny could sense disaster looming all along. What a tragedy that no one would listen to her. And finally, Maria, the girl next door and the love of James's life. Will they? Won't they? Who knows - because Maria holds the biggest secret of them all. Or does she?

KIMBERLY CHAMBERS BOOKS ARE ALL GREAT, THIS ONE HOWEVER IS BLINDING, ITS THE FIRST TIME IV LAUGHED OUT LOUD WHILE READING, ITS FULL OF HUMOUR BUT ALSO A LOT OF SADNESS, JUST BUY THIS, YOU WONT BE DISAPONTED, CANT WAIT TILL THE NEXT NOVEL(THE FUED) IS RELEASED

Format:Paperback
Another page turner from the writer tipped to take over Martina Cole, along with Jessie Keane and Mandasue Heller. This story is full on from the first page. If you like a tale about prisons, dysfunctional families, drink and drugs, the odd graphic sex scene thrown in for good measure then read this. However, this is not for the faint hearted. If easily offended by bad language then this may not be suitable because there is a huge amount of it on every page! Having said that, this novelist can tell a great story and I would imagine the language just makes it seem more real.
