![]() ![]() I really enjoyed this book, it made it more interesting to me being set in the North East of England where I come from and live. ![]() Thanks Margitte for letting me know about this gem of a little book! ![]() Her co-workers and friends try and help her to see how close she has became to the story she is following but she refuses to see until it's almost too late. Her mom leaves her alone even at night, she has her boyfriends parading in all the time, filthy conditions and then to top it off the girl named Amy seems like she might not tell the truth at all times.Ĭlare has recently had a personal breakdown and the book doesn't tell you what has happened to her until almost the very end but when it does everything in the story falls into place. Clare befriends a nine year old girl that lives at Sweetmeadows and my heart broke for the girl. I'm flabbergasted at how much this book wrapped me up. Is the baby's death related to his father's recently coming off the picket line to return to work? She takes on the story of a baby's death at the local slums called Sweetmeadows. So she begins to try and become "super-reporter". Clare is a reporter who was passed over for a job promotion at her newspaper. It takes place in 1984 while the miner's strikes are going on in Britain. I'm so glad she brought it to my attention. ![]() I really never would have noticed this book except for Margitte's review. ![]()
