"Absolutely brilliant from start to finish I could not put it down I really felt I was there... ""The underlying discourse woven by the words reveals deep truths about the reality of prejudice, love, lust, heartbreak, celibacy, faith, family, society and human nature."" At times, I truly did want to reach right into the book and save her. For, in too many ways, she is me, she is my sister, she is my neighbor and friend, who put up with abuse for too many years."When Orla Mackey realises her boyfriend Jack Newton only wants her for one thing, she resolves to take some drastic action. She does so without thinking about the consequences until it's too late. By the end she realises the man she wants to marry is not in any position to marry her and never will be. Well let's think about it, he's not in any position to marry anyone, the Catholic Church don't allow their priests to get married let alone have secret affairs with desperate women. This isn't your standard love story, it's a dark and intense tale of life for one woman in 1960's Manchester and to some extent what life is/was like for priests of the Roman Catholic Church.
