From Booklist
Set in lower-class Battersea in South London circa 1960, this is the tale of a turbulent time in the life of Sally Jones, a young wife and mother whose life has been a happy one until her grandmother has a stroke. Sally moves her family into her mother's small home to care for her grandmother. Even after her grandmother's health improves, Sally still feels she needs to stay, despite the strain on her marriage. Just when things are looking up, her husband is injured in a car accident. Between caring for her daughter and her grandmother and visiting her husband in the hospital, where he's laid up for months, Sally's having a hard time before she's accosted, beaten, and left on the side of the road. Will her life ever return to normal? This poignant tale takes the reader on a journey through one woman's adversity to the light at the end of the tunnel. Maria Hatton
