About this ebook

The final gripping instalment of the bestselling Four Streets trilogy which began with THE FOUR STREETS and continued in HIDE HER NAME.

Christmas morning, 1963. Fifteen-year-old Kitty Doherty gives birth in a cold, unfriendly Irish convent. She knows her beautiful baby boy presents a huge danger to her family's Catholic community back in Liverpool's Four Streets. When her baby is adopted by a wealthy family in Chicago, Kitty considers the problem solved. But soon it's obvious the baby is very sick and only his birth mother can save him.

In Liverpool, a charismatic new priest has arrived. As the Dohertys cope with the tragic consequences of Kitty's pregnancy, the police seem close to solving the double murder which rocked the Four Streets to the core. But now all that is about to be put at risk once again.

What people are saying about THE BALLYMARA ROAD:

'Looking forward to the next book Nadine Dorries writes, she will definitely be on my pre-order list from now on'

It's not often you get a series where each of the following books were better than the last! Highly recommended!'

I am not sure why this book was recommended to me. It was over sentimental and had far too many characters to keep track of. I felt it missed the real story about the treatment of children and young mothers in Catholic institutions. It was too slick and the resolutions were not believable.

This book is possibly the worst thing I have ever read. For this woman to claim to be a scouser, it makes me sick, the tory low life.
