'Vivid bawdy and bitter' (The Times) Pat Barker's first novel shows the women of Union Street young and old meeting the harsh challeges of poverty and survival in a precarious world. There's Kelly at eleven neglected and independent dealing with a squalid rape; Dinah knocking on sixty and still on the game; Joanne not yet twenty not yet married and already pregnant; Old Alice welcoming her impending death; Muriel helplessly watching the decline of her stoical husband. And linking them all watching over them all mother to half the street is fiery indomitable Iris.
