Hide Her Name: The Four Streets Trilogy

Product Information

As for the nuns and priests, even though there are often media reports of the wrongdoinsg of the priesthood, mostly in the past, I find it hard to believe in any civilised country the abbey nuns could have treated the girls so badly.

Her mother, Maura, and best friend Nellie's grandmother decide the girls must be spirited away to Ireland to await the birth of the baby.Again, the events of the book are still with me days after finishing them they were such a compelling read and I cannot recommend it enough. This was the first of this series I had tried and the attitude of some of the priests and nuns is so absolutely what I can imagine. My only concern was that at times I found it hard to believe this was the early sixties as it seemed to be more 50's. This gripping follow on from the bestselling The Four Streets finds the community alive with rumours and gossip after the murder which rocked it to the core. However, unlike the first book which centred only around this area, in this book the story goes back and forwards to Ireland as we follow Kitty and her story.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book and read it in a couple of days and I became totally absorbed by the story and the characters. My books are based on the streets of Liverpool, or in the Liverpool hospitals where I trained as a nurse, or at one of my favourite places in the world, the west coast of Ireland. This is the second book in the Four Streets trilogy by Nadine Dorries and although you don't necessarily need to have read the first book in this series, as this can be read as a stand alone and it does cover what happens in the first book, I think it makes it more enjoyable if you have read all of the books. After listening to 'The Four Streets', I had to know more and find out what happens next in the lives of the characters.

One final query - Simon change brands for obvious reasons - almost as an aside -- but then apparently changed back again? Apart from that, it was both entertaining and very informative regarding the Catholic church and the Irish community in Liverpool and their reasons for wanting to go to America. I love books you get totally lost in and by the time you are finished you feel like you have known these people all along. In the Four Streets in Liverpool, a dreadful murder has been committed, and 14-year-old Kitty Doherty is pregnant with the dead man's child.

So many loose ends to tie up - well done to Nadine Dorries - I only wish I had a fraction of her talent! This gripping follow on from The Four Streets finds the community alive with rumours and gossip after the murder which rocked it to the core. This is another gripping read which I just could not put down (like the other books in the trilogy, I read each one in a day they were that good) and I was so desperate to find out what would happen I stayed up way past my bedtime. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I promise if you get caught up in these peoples lives it will be just like your setting at the table gossiping with the rest of the neighborhood ladies about the comings and goings cause none of them miss a trick.

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. Fourteen-year-old Kitty Doherty, pregnant with the dead man's child, is a danger to everyone who needs to keep the secret. She trained as a nurse, then followed with a successful career in which she established and then sold her own business. But there's more than one reference to blue and white Panda police cars which did not appear on the streets until the mid 1960's.

The story makes for uncomfortable reading in places but is so well written you just have to read on. I recognised the caring and uncaring nuns and felt that she gave a very fair picture of the close knit Irish Commnity. I too, grew up in this era (and in a catholic community), but we were not so naive or vulnerable as this community is portrayed. As a child, my Irish grandmother, Nellie Deane, would often whisk me away to her rural village on the west coast of Ireland and immerse me in the scent of raw peat and Holy Smoke.
