Book SynopsisA heartbreaking novel from the bestselling author of
The Four Streets. Noleen Delaney is one of an army of night cleaners at
St Angelus Hospital. Son Finn has done something unheard-of and passed his Eleven Plus exam. How on earth will they pay for his books, his grammar school uniform and shoes?

vicious eldest son? As usual,
