A powerful new novel, heart-breaking but ultimately uplifting, from
the author of the classic Twopence to Cross The Mersey. Life in a
Liverpool tenement block during the Great Depression is a grim
struggle for Martha Connelly and her poverty-stricken family, as
every day renews the threat of homelessness, hunger and disease.
Family warmth remains constant however, despite the misery and
disquiet of the slum surroundings, and the indomitible
neighbourhood puts up a relentless fight for survival. Helen
Forrester's poignant novel relays bleakness and hardships, but
celebrates also the spirit of unified hope and the restorative
values of the close-knit community.
