Product Description

Product Description

The approach of the twentieth century means little to Josie Burns and her family; living in Sunderland's slum area, they battle dirt, cold and hunger on a daily basis. Josie's brothers and sisters are terrified of their violent alcoholic father, but Josie is not like the rest, for she has something that will enable her to rise out of the slums: a beautiful singing voice, with which even as a child she earns enough pennies to keep her father happy. When she discovers that her father is trying to put her younger sister, Gertie, on the game, Josie and Gertie flee the family home, taking refuge with a friend. By educating herself and taking singing lessons, Josie starts on the journey to success and security - but can she also find love?

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I have read in a while, 19 Nov 2007
By A Customer (England) - See all my reviews
This is the first time I have read a Rita Bradshaw novel and came across this book by chance. I was gripped from the start until the very last page and found it very easy to read. I am looking forward to reading more of her work if this is anything to go by.
