Hide Her Name: The Four Streets Trilogy

Product Information

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. I recognised the caring and uncaring nuns and felt that she gave a very fair picture of the close knit Irish Commnity. 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. She has been MP for Mid Bedfordshire since 2005, and is presently serving as Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

I thoroughly enjoyed it despite being thought provoking and bringing back memories of my Catholic school. This story started very slowly and did jump from one set of people to another so was difficult to keep track of who was who. Captivating, phenomenal and touching' ― 23 Review Street --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition. 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. 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.I echo everything thats been said by other five star reviews and applaud this author's talent for the fine interweaving of all the threads involved. 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. This secret is so dangerous that her mother, Maura, and the redoubtable Kathleen, her best friend Nellie’s grandmother, decide the girls must be spirited away quietly to Ireland to await the birth of the baby. Not my usual genre but downloaded the free sample of "Hide Her Name" and then I just had to read the rest.

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. 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.This story has been used so much lately that it felt like the author had succumbed to the "flavour of the month". 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. I also was so glad that "Kitty" found her inner strength and herself, as I was dreading her crumbling under the cruelty of the regime in the laundry run by the nuns. Like the first book, The Four Streets, the story covers the lives of families living in The Four Streets area of Liverpool.

The characters are engaging, the streets scenes cinematic and the theme of the novel powerful' The Times . I find it hard to imagine how the families could have so many children whilst so poor, but then I am not Catholic. 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.
