Hull 1852. Matty has had to care for her three younger sisters ever since their mother's death 10 years earlier. She and their beloved father have worked hard to keep the family together, and now it's time to celebrate Matty as she turns 18. But their joy is short-lived when tragedy suddenly strikes, and their father disappears on his way to London. The sisters have no way of knowing what has happened to him, only that he hasn't returned home. With little money left they are now forced to battle life's misfortunes alone. The wonderful story starts in Beverley and carries on to beautiful Italy and back again and each character is beautifully drawn and completely memorable. 340pp, Penguin paperback.
