Hide Her Name: The Four Streets Trilogy

Product Information

This is another gripping read which I just could not put down (like the other books in the trilogy, I read each one in a day they were that good) and I was so desperate to find out what would happen I stayed up way past my bedtime. My only concern was that at times I found it hard to believe this was the early sixties as it seemed to be more 50's.

The characters are engaging, the streets scenes cinematic and the theme of the novel powerful' The Times .I find it hard to imagine how the families could have so many children whilst so poor, but then I am not Catholic. Glad I hadn't taken notice who the author was because if I had realised it was the MP I probably wouldn't have bothered reading it.

The story makes for uncomfortable reading in places but is so well written you just have to read on. By completing your purchase, you agree to Audible's Conditions of Use and authorise Audible to charge your designated card or any other card on file. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book and read it in a couple of days and I became totally absorbed by the story and the characters.

As for the nuns and priests, even though there are often media reports of the wrongdoinsg of the priesthood, mostly in the past, I find it hard to believe in any civilised country the abbey nuns could have treated the girls so badly.

I echo everything thats been said by other five star reviews and applaud this author's talent for the fine interweaving of all the threads involved. This gripping follow on from the bestselling The Four Streets finds the community alive with rumours and gossip after the murder which rocked it to the core.Apart from that, it was both entertaining and very informative regarding the Catholic church and the Irish community in Liverpool and their reasons for wanting to go to America. Another epic tale of what can only be described as a series of unfortunate events to a group of innocent (mostly) and vulnerable people. And as for leaving Kitty in that awful place in the charge of those malicious nuns, well, I almost gave up on the book entirely!
