In the sixties, Briony Cavanagh ran a string of the most notorious brothels in London. Only Briony knew what went on behind those doors, and she never opened her mouth - unless she stood to benefit. Only Briony knew the painful road she'd travelled to get there. From an impoverished childhood that ended with shocking betrayal, she was determined to be mistress of her own fate. But along with success came risk and danger. And the Goodnight Lady had her own secret place that was always shadowed by loss.

This review is from: Goodnight Lady (Paperback)
Goodnight Lady is my favorite Martina Cole novel. It starts out with a child named Briony Cavanagh and the horrible and disgusting things she had to do in order to survive and make it in her world. The novel spans decades and is an interesting and well written account of Briony's life right up til she is 90 years old. Loved it and can't wait to read the rest of Ms. Cole's novels. BRAVO!!

This review is from: Goodnight Lady (Paperback)
Martina Cole is one of the best authors out there today because she is writing what she knows! She uses her own experiences and writes over-the-top best sellers. The areas in the underworld of England is where she pens a lot of her books and they are just so interesting and full of surprises as to what people do when they are hungry, cold, poor and wanting a better life. In this book; a young girl basically sells herself to a pedophile for a chance to have a life of good food, clothing and all of the basic things people should have. She achieves all of this and succeeds in maintaining a higher standard of living once she is free of the pervert. Loved the book!
