The O'Neils, who have lost brothers and sons into the bowels of
London's East End, keep watch over their one remaining young male,
a boy named Seamus. Hardworking and good-hearted, they cling
together and help each other, and a whole community. Meanwhile,
Rosh Allen mourns the loss of Phil, her dearly-beloved husband.
Aided and impeded by her mother, Anna, she struggles to raise three
fatherless children. With the help of a kind-hearted neighbour, her
wounds begin to heal, and she begins to take the first faltering
steps into 'normality'. Tess and Don Compton are on the verge of
separation. An apparently greedy and selfish woman, Tess wants a
semi-detached house, and all her own way. But what really lies
behind her desire to live on the posh side of the street. Behind
the three families, two men are at work. One will do serious
damage; the other will reunite a clan that goes all the way back to
Ireland and to ancestors thrown ashore from the ships of the
Spanish Armada. Brilliant storytelling that is perfect for fans of
Nadine Dorries' The Four Streets or Maureen Lee.
