The Sisters O Donnell P

by Lyn Andrews

They were called the Sisters O?Donnell in County Tipperary. All with flaming red hair and tempers to match, they came to seek their fortunes in 1920s Liverpool full of ambition and hope. Gina planned to be a star of the theatre, Mary Kate wanted to find a husband. And gentle, timid Bridget just wanted to get away from the fighting around her and have a calm, peaceful life. But Liverpool wasn't what they thought it would be. Work was impossible to find and their money was running out. And the O?Donnell girls had a long way to go before they could realise some of their dreams.

Reviews

[Noreen]

Enjoyed this book.

[Martine Gillard]

As always by Lyn it was a great read but a somewhat disappointing ending, almost as though Lyn knew it was the finale and couldn't wait to get the book finished. A poor end to say the least.

[Barbra]

This book will tug at your heartstrings and you will find it hard to put down.

Back Cover Blurb:
Three Irish sisters, red-haired and tempestuous, leave Tipperary for the Liverpool of the 1920s to seek their fortunes. Their idealism is soon dashed by the realities of life, and their dreams fade as time and money begin to run out.

[Ria]

A brilliant book in the style of Cookson or Cox, a wonderful tale rich in detail and storyline.
Well worth reading if anyone enjoys historical or period novels.

[Caroline]

Another very good Lyn Andrews book which being loosely based on truth, makes it more interesting.

[Joseph]

An easy, engaging read putting you in the everyday lives of three Irish sisters living in the UK.
