Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for Nobody's Girl and Sins of the Father: 'This pageturner is a gritty tale of survival.' Tesco magazine 'Heartbreakingly poignant and joltingly realistic. From the first page the characters and their lives drew me in. It combines wonderfully accurate historical detail with true gritty realism in a book that fans of misery lit won't want to miss.' Annie Groves, author of As Time Goes By 'Full of drama and heartache.' Closer 'A gritty tale.' Bella --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

About the Author

Kitty Neale was raised in South London and this working class area became the inspiration for her novels. In the 1980s she moved to Surrey with her husband and two children, but in 1998 there was a catalyst in her life when her son died, aged just 27. After working for 2 years with other bereaved parents in a support group, Kitty took up writing as a form of catharsis, and now lives in Spain with her husband. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
