And in the early 1980s, Jer's youngest child Nellie is nearing the end of her life in a council house, moments away from her childhood home; remembering the night when she and her family stole back something that was rightfully theirs, she imagines what lies in store for those who will survive her.'Brilliantly immerses us in its respective time periods' SUNDAY TIMESLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 128mmItem Length: 128mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 193gAuthor: Billy O'CallaghanGenre: FictionRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
