by Helen Walsh (Author)
Meet the Fitzgeralds - they will open your eyes and capture your heart
Meet the Fitzgeralds. They will open your eyes and capture your heart.
Robbie and Susheela have the dreams of most young couples for their two children: for happiness, for a lucky break, for a bigger house in a better part of town. But this is Warrington in the '70s. And none of them could have imagined where life will take them. Across two decades of aspiration, achievement, misunderstandings and near misses, Helen Walsh plunges us into the Fitzgeralds' world. She has created a family who will stay in your heart long after the final page. 'You'll develop such an affinity for brooding, talented Robbie Fitzgerald and his Tamil princess wife Susheela that you'll be willing them to escape their ultimately doomed life.' She 'Every heartfelt sentence is permeated with a raging humanity, while the end of the book is shocking, painful and unforgettably moving.' Metro 'The kind of book whose events you find yourself repeating to friends.' Daily TelegraphHelen Walsh was born in Warrington, England, in 1976. Her first novel, Brass, was published in 2004 and was the winner of a Betty Trask Prize. She now lives in Liverpool.
