Summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Manchester Moll by Emma Hornby, read by Julia Franklin.

Moll thought she could keep her family safe....

Eighteen-year-old Moll Chambers works her fingers to the bone doing all she can to support her family. With an ailing father and a wayward mother, Moll is the only one who can look after her siblings, Bo and Sissy.

But Manchester is an increasingly dangerous place to live, overrun with a ferocious rivalry between gangs of so-called 'scuttlers': young men and women bent on a life of violence and crime. And they have her brother in their sights. Soon even Moll can't protect Bo from the lure of the criminal underworld.

Then the scuttlers look her way.

When she herself falls for the leader of a rival gang, Moll's choices place her and Bo firmly on opposite sides of the city's turf war.

With her loyalties now torn in two and tragedy lurking round every corner, will Moll be able to rise above the conflict and protect those she loves the most? Or will stepping out with a scuttler spell ruin for them all?

Manchester Moll is an absorbing saga that will tug at your heartstrings, perfect for fans of Dilly Court, Rosie Goodwin and Maggie Hope.

Whilst well aware that bad language is normal in some communities. This was more than "Reflecting real life".

Possibly a better read than listen

It became hard to listen to with a couple of character voices as they were so screechy and certain phrases and words were repeated so much it became a bit annoying. I think it would probably be better read as a book than listened to as the story was quite interesting and easy to follow, I just couldn't connect with it enough even during the darker, grittier parts.

Good but not great.

A good enough story although I kept forgetting the book was set in 1860.
Good narrative but I found some of the characters voices irritated me to a point where I just read.
