About this listen

When Cathy Connor and Eamonn Docherty are thrown together as children in the East End their fate is sealed. Cathy's miserable life as a prostitute's child changes forever when she's forced into care. The ordeal that follows leaves her with no choice but to run away to Soho, and she learns to survive in the violent heart of London's underworld. Meanwhile, Eamonn, who fled to New York, has gained a reputation as a ruthless villain. But when their paths cross again, Cathy is an equal match for Eamonn - and nothing's going to make her run away this time...

Whereas im not enjoying her latest books so much.....these older ones are brilliant.....Up until the last 6 or so....I thought she was untouchable..now I'm following Kimberley Chambers /Mandasue Heller.

LOVED IT!!

The talented Martina Cole did it again. Yes, she uses a basic template but this story is much more. That Cathy overcomes a dreadful start in life is expected. That she is fundamentally a good person is expected. That she is loved by such diverse characters is probably expected. But the twists, turns and final denouement wasn’t expected. The story is poignant in many ways. It has very dark moments, coupled with emotional highs. This is one I shall listen to again...soon! Highly recommended.
