Review
Maddy Kiernan is in a desperate situation, her parents are dead, and her brother Thomas is acting as guardian to her and her sister Carmel. But Thomas (as Maddy is only too painfully aware) cares only for himself. His attempts to marry the daughter of a Protestant canal agent come to nothing, and Thomas abandons the girls, who soon find themselves under fire from the lascivious agent. Reluctantly, the girls follow their brother to Liverpool, but within days they find themselves destitute and stealing food in order to survive. But when Maddy becomes maid to an old lady, she finds herself sole beneficiary of a will - but only if she agrees not to marry until the woman who has rescued both her and her sister dies. Apart from the vividly characterised heroine, Andrews' skill is in conjuring the sharply observed Liverpool milieu.
