Loved the story of the harsh life in the early 20s in Londons' docklands. The narrator was brilliant with the different voices. I look forward to reading the others by the same author now.

Easy listening

Anne Dovers voice gives warmth and realality to the characters and for me was like listening to a familiar old friend. The story its self was close to my heart as I know the area of London in which the story was set so could easily see the setting and the characters.
