Ties Of Love And Hate

By Mary A. Larkin

Belfast, 1907. Ignoring her family's outrage, Maggie Pierce has left her comfortable home and married her Catholic sweetheart, Paul Mason. Together they set up home in the Falls Road, but Maggie finds it difficult to settle until she finds an ally in the form of Paul's landlady, Mollie Grahame. The birth of baby Sarah cements the young couple's happiness, but a second pregnancy brings a double tragedy and soon Maggie finds herself penniless and alone, struggling to survive in a harsh and uncaring world. A moving saga of extraordinary things that happen to ordinary people, TIES OF LOVE AND HATE presents a gritty and vivid portrayal of a time and place, populated by characters as endearing as they are realistic.

Belfast Girl

This book is an excellent read, I just couldnt put it down - it took me 4 days to read and it was worth it!! It gives a real insight to what Belfast was like and in some parts still is. It's about a young Belfast girl and what she encounters during her life living in Belfast. You think you where there with her and feel so sorry for her, so sorry you just want to give her a big hug. It is a fictional story but what goes on in the book happens in real life (especially Northern Ireland). Must read!!!
