Product Description

Mary McGann's marriage has always been difficult, thanks to her husband Frank's drunken, jealous nature. Only because the little money he earns in the docks keeps food in the mouths of their children is Mary prepared to put up with him. But when Frank throws them all out on the street, Mary flees to her family in Dublin. There she meets Richard O'Neill, a handsome though solitary man. Despite the attraction between them, Mary's not looking for love, and when she hears that Frank needs her, she returns to Liverpool, foreseeing a future of yet more hardship. But there are surprises in store. Though tragedy and danger are looming, a brighter horizon lies beyond if Mary's prepared to be strong and take the chances that come her way.

the house work will have to wait
This is Lyn Andrews at her best, its what you come to expect set in the slums of Liverpool, hard drinking men who treat women like dirt, and strong woman who carry the worrys of the world on there shoulders, with little money and lots of mouths to feed but still carry on regardless,then the story shifts to dublin.
This is a great book, and a great holiday read
