This
followed a family in Liverpool from 1938 to
1965. They were extremely poor and many times it was disturbing and difficult
to read, but, on the whole, I enjoyed the book. It surely shows a whole
different world and makes you appreciate your life.
It
gave such insight into the terrible poverty in Liverpool
in the 30s - families appear to have been living in conditions not uncommon in
Victorian London. It's a wonder that people survived in such appalling
conditions. The plot was simple - it followed the life of Martha Connolly, her
family and friends, from the late 30s to 1965. As I said earlier most of the
book was and enjoyable interesting read but I didn't like the divine
intervention details towards the end - it seemed a clumsy handling of what many
people believe.
