What Goes Around
Four women, three generations, two deaths, one broken family.
From the slums and factories of post-war Manchester to the slick world of the present-day legal industry, this story follows the lives of four women, all suffering from the tragic decisions their families were forced to make.
Manchester in the 1940s, and Kathleen is desperate to break free of her domineering, abusive mother. She falls for Cyril at a dance but finds herself in a worse situation than before.
Marian, born in the 1960s to Kathleen and Cyril, raised in an environment of neglect and abuse, she is determined to break the cycle.
Ireland is the setting for Shauna's story. Born of an incestuous liaison and feeling like a social misfit, she is set on revenge.
Finally, Marian’s daughter Dolores has a less than perfect start in life, but will she be the one to break the mould?
Inspired by real-life events, What Goes Around will take you on a journey of discovery, exploring how we are shaped by our families’ actions, gender expectations and life experiences. Can we break cycles of abuse, learnt behaviour and mental health issues which can permeate generations?
Poignant and emotionally-charged, this book will have you reaching for the tissues, shouting at the injustices and rejoicing in the triumphs.
