About this deal
He left Nora a young widow, with a small sum that she took down to Brighton, to set up a bed and breakfast establishment and make a bit of money off the tourists. Max and his brothers had been used to seeing Queenie with her mouth turned down, wearing drab unflattering gear, cursing Dad as the useless waster sat there in his armchair, reading the Racing Post and smoking roll-ups. All my readers have supported me all the way through, everybody has been absolutely wonderful and I really appreciate it, I really do.
Dock worker’s houses had fitted carpets, TVs and the latest radiograms – and every so often a crate of goods got damaged by being dropped onto the concrete unloading bay – usually deliberately – and so there was always a surfeit of marketable stuff to sell. But Tone didn’t fancy that work and he could see the way things were going around London, dock work thinning out by the day. The story begins with Max's mother Queenie, in an intriguing plot line that holds this story together.
How did it reflect on him and on the business he was steadily building up, his mother being a barmaid? The story zips along, love, death and betrayal in equal measure, bad boy comes good, family is everything and I feel there’s more to come.
Jonjo, go out and play with Max and stop pushing our Eddie in the nettles while you’re out there, all right?Her experiences give great authenticity to her writing, which is atmospheric, fast-paced and suspenseful, with convincing characters and dialogue, and gives a real flavour of what life must be like if you’re caught up in the gang world of East London. If you do not accept and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions you will be unable to complete your business on smartspot_ie. The relationships they hold with family and friends, as well as the morals they hold, became a pinnacle part of the story and they were so protective of each other, making them relatable.
