The Four Streets: Volume 1

Product Information

If you like an action packed story which tugs at the heartstrings this book (one from a trilogy) is for you. Tommy may have craved peace but, with seven kids and a wife as opinionated and as popular as Maura, it was just a dream. She spent part of her childhood living on a farm with her grandmother, and attended school in a small remote village in the west of Ireland. I loved this, I was dreading to reach the end, the characters were so real and I wanted the story to go on and on. I started reading this thinking it would just be about families living in a street in Liverpool in the 1950s and to start with it was.

I acknowledge opinions differ and as a relative of mine used to say “Different Strokes for Different Folks! She is an MP, presently serving as Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, and has three daughters. I felt as though they were burning into me very soul,' was how Bernadette described her first meeting with Jerry, wistfully and often, her eyes welling up at the mere memory of the day.Without fail, an almighty row would ensue and Tommy could often be spotted running out of the backyard gate as though the devil himself were after him, when it was in fact Maura, brandishing a rolled-up copy of the Liverpool Echo to beat him around the head with, the children scattering before them like cockroaches in daylight, in case they got in the way and copped it instead. At the top of the four streets lay a grassed-over square of common land known as the green, which in school holidays hosted the longest ever football matches, sometimes lasting for days on end. Overall a good read and I'm looking forward to finding out what happens in the lives of all the families in the next books.

She has provided a meticulously accurate staging for the story and I wonder if at least some of it is actually true. Set in the Irish Catholic community of 1950s Liverpool and on the west coast of Ireland, this is a saga of working-class families.To answer a question as vital as the number of coffee cups consumed while reading, there are exactly 15 books in the Nadine Dorries series.
