Summary

No one knows who did it, least of all the police. Somewhere, in this tight-knit Irish Catholic community, someone must know something. Fourteen-year-old Kitty Doherty, pregnant with the dead man's child, is a danger to everyone who needs to keep the secret. Her mother, Maura, and best friend Nellie's grandmother decide the girls must be spirited away to Ireland to await the birth of the baby. But it isn't easy to keep a secret that big.

Critic reviews

"The characters are engaging, the streets scenes cinematic and the theme of the novel powerful." ( The Times)
"A vigorous and vibrant story... As fast-paced as it is entertaining. An addictive novel to be devoured in one sitting." ( The Sunday Express on The Four Streets)

Moving and emotional.

This was at times a shocking upsetting listen but extremely moving and well told. I was engrossed in the emotion of it all.

Abrupt ending

The story is good, and so is the narration, but the ending just finished so abruptly it left me with questions. Why are books so detailed throughout and finish like this?! It’s like they have hit the time limit. I wouldn’t listen to this again, it was ok.

An excellent second instalment

I really enjoyed this follow up and the story flowed seemlessly on.

Historical facts mixed in with fiction surrounding the Catholic Church and those of that faith tell the story of the diabolical going ons.

The characters all have their own voices which is down to the narrators skill.

Well written and well read. Recommend.

Lovely book dealing with sensitive subject

WOW! This is my first Nadine Dorries book and I absolutely loved it. For all she was writing about a sensitive subject it was handled respectfully. Most of the characters believable and likeable and the story interesting. I was sorry when the book came to an end. Definitely buying more by this author.
