Erin's Child

Feeney Family #3

by Sheelagh Kelly

Family ties have united the Feeneys through famine and poverty, but can they withstand success?It is 1875 and the Feeneys have left the squalor of York’s slums behind them. Yet all is not well. Patrick remains a man of simple tastes, increasingly out of touch with Thomasin’s ambition to expand her business empire still further across Yorkshire.

After losing their son, the Feeneys’ hopes for the family’s future now lie with their grandchildren. There is Rosanne, set to follow a rebel lover down a star-crossed road, and Erin’s daughter Belle, gifted and headstrong but born with a disability.

But what happens next will test them all.

Erin’s Child is the third book in the Feeney Family Sagas. Packed with humour, life and drama, it is an unputdownable account of one family’s struggle to survive, perfect for fans of Maggie Ford and Annie Murray.

Good read

Third book in this series and now looking forward to the next one. I enjoyed this book as much as the others and would have given five stars but as with the other books the editing was poor .

Spent my whole holiday reading the Feeney family saga, loved it. However what spoiled it was the poor editing, obviously wasn't proof read before going to print. Hard work trying to work out what the words were supposed to be. However still an excellent read
