Handsome Frank Rossi took Matty Gilbie away from her working class roots in East London, promising her fame and fortune. As his wife, she would be half of a power couple. But the Wall Street Crash puts paid to all that, and as Frank becomes more violent, Matty flees in the dead of night. Once home in Bermondsey, she goes into hiding, but Frank is on the move, determined to find her and get her back.

Critic reviews

"Mary Gibson is going to go a long way [...] a really good read." (Dee Williams)
All stars
Most relevant
Have read the previous Mary Gibson books so def had to get this, esp as Anne Dover narrating is superb - and I warmed to the familiar characters and liked the depth of the storyline - there were some twists interspersed throughout & I learnt alot about the history and health side of London in the 30's. The setting was different to some books of Mary's and I liked the authenticity of it all. It rang true both in stories and characterisation.
It was a change from a war time setting but still had the warmth of people pulling together. 5 stars

Another great Mary Gibson story

This was a really involved story, based on what could so easily have been reality. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Much better than the silly title suggests

Excellent story, really enjoyed it. I felt like I was part of their lives and missed them when I finished the book. Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and got a real feel for social history in the 1930’s Bermondsey, London.
The narration is absolutely superb.

Thoroughly Enjoyed

Not my usual type of book but similar to the type my Nan used to lend me to read when I was a teenager!! And I enjoyed it as much as those!! It wasn't edge of my seat, fast paced gripping stuff but it was very enjoyable & easy to listen to. The narrator was great, easy to distinguish between characters, great accents & conveyed the emotions well (singing was a little iffy but then it's a book not a record!! & didn't take away the enjoyment!)

Enjoyable!
