The story of Kate now widowed and her family.
Times in Glasgow are tough and she has 8 find any job she can with the help of granny Gorbals for childcare

It describes well the awful situations she finds herself in.

Great characterisation. Even minor characters come alive.

There's no need to have read the first book although it does refer to it

this book tells the story of Kate who is a lady's maid but then becomes pregnant to the son of the house. when the pregnancy is discovered by the family she is thrown out but amazingly Pearce stands by her and so they get married and leave Ireland to travel to Glasgow and set up home. Unfortunaltely it's far from the start Kate had imagined and she struggles to make ends meet especially when more children arrive.

This book tells the story of live in the Glasgow slums during the late 19th century and shows how hard life really was.

There were a few typographical errors but on the whole they didn't detract from the story.
