Hide Her Name: The Four Streets Trilogy

Product Information

This is the second book in the Four Streets trilogy by Nadine Dorries and although you don't necessarily need to have read the first book in this series, as this can be read as a stand alone and it does cover what happens in the first book, I think it makes it more enjoyable if you have read all of the books. She trained as a nurse, then followed with a successful career in which she established and then sold her own business. This story has been used so much lately that it felt like the author had succumbed to the "flavour of the month".

This was the first of this series I had tried and the attitude of some of the priests and nuns is so absolutely what I can imagine. I also was so glad that "Kitty" found her inner strength and herself, as I was dreading her crumbling under the cruelty of the regime in the laundry run by the nuns. I echo everything thats been said by other five star reviews and applaud this author's talent for the fine interweaving of all the threads involved. This is another gripping read which I just could not put down (like the other books in the trilogy, I read each one in a day they were that good) and I was so desperate to find out what would happen I stayed up way past my bedtime. As for the nuns and priests, even though there are often media reports of the wrongdoinsg of the priesthood, mostly in the past, I find it hard to believe in any civilised country the abbey nuns could have treated the girls so badly.

This secret is so dangerous that her mother, Maura, and the redoubtable Kathleen, her best friend Nellie’s grandmother, decide the girls must be spirited away quietly to Ireland to await the birth of the baby. The characters are engaging, the streets scenes cinematic and the theme of the novel powerful' The Times.

So many loose ends to tie up - well done to Nadine Dorries - I only wish I had a fraction of her talent! I do not often purchase books as there are so many good "freebies", but this one was worth it and part 3 is a must have.

I thoroughly enjoyed it despite being thought provoking and bringing back memories of my Catholic school. After listening to 'The Four Streets', I had to know more and find out what happens next in the lives of the characters.Again, the events of the book are still with me days after finishing them they were such a compelling read and I cannot recommend it enough. Glad I hadn't taken notice who the author was because if I had realised it was the MP I probably wouldn't have bothered reading it.
