About this listen

 Timeless family drama from the best-selling author of Tuppence to Cross the Mersey. With over 3 million copies sold around the world, Helen Forrester’s hard-hitting and gripping fiction, set in Liverpool during the Depression, continues to move readers.

After the death of her mother, Daisy Gallagher supports her struggling family while her best friend Nellie O’Brian is dying for lack of medical attention.

Desperate for money, Daisy turns to the darkened streets of pre-war Liverpool, filled with drunken sailors, and makes a terrible sacrifice. Through strength and suffering, she earns enough to support those who need her help.

Daisy’s friends and family know nothing of her new occupation. But, as her husband returns from the sea, can it remain hidden much longer?

I can tell this author was English,she writes the Irish in the 1930’s as stereotypes. It’s really quite insulting to my great,great grandparents. Coming from and living in Dublin I’m very much aware of how the English saw Irish immigrants in the past (to some degree they still see the Irish this way) and Forrester includes every nasty trope in this book,from portraying the Irish as dirty,thuggish drunks to being screaming female harridans.
I wouldn’t read/listen too another of this author’s books if my life depended on it!
IF YOU WANT TO LAUGH AT THE IRISH THEN READ THIS. IF YOU WANT THE TRUTH THEN AVOID THIS ODIOUS PIECE OF FICTION!!!

Patronising and verging on the racist
