The final gripping instalment of the bestselling Four Streets trilogy which began with THE FOUR STREETS and continued in HIDE HER NAME. Christmas morning, 1963.

She knows her beautiful baby boy presents a huge danger to her family's Catholic community back in Liverpool's Four Streets. When her baby is adopted by a wealthy family in Chicago, Kitty considers the problem solved. But soon it's obvious the baby is very sick and only his birth mother can save him.

As the Dohertys cope with the tragic consequences of Kitty's pregnancy, the police seem close to solving the double murder which rocked the Four Streets to the core. But now all that is about to be put at risk once again. What people are saying about THE BALLYMARA ROAD: 'Brilliant finale to the other books, tied up all the loose ends and a good ending' 'Beautifully written, I found myself really engrossed in the characters and the author had a magical way of making you feel you were right there with them' 'Looking forward to the next book Nadine Dorries writes, she will definitely be on my pre-order list from now on' It's not often you get a series where each of the following books were better than the last! Highly recommended!'

Four Streets and a Square: A History of Manhattan and the New York Idea
Author: Marc Aronson
Publisher: Candlewick Press
ISBN: 1536205931
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 441
Book Description
From a Sibert Medalist comes the epic story of Manhattan—a magical, maddening island “for all” and a microcosm of America. A veteran nonfiction storyteller dives deep into the four-hundred-year history of Manhattan to map the island’s unexpected intersections. Focusing on the evolution of four streets and a square (Wall Street, 42nd Street, West 4th Street, 125th Street, and Union Square) Marc Aronson explores how new ideas and forms of art evolved from social blending. Centuries of conflict—among original Americans and Europeans, slavers and the enslaved, rich and poor, immigrants and native-born—produced segregation, oppression, and violence, but also new ways of speaking, singing, and being American. From the Harlem Renaissance to Hammerstein, from gay pride in the Village to political clashes at Tammany Hall, this clear-eyed pageant of the island’s joys and struggles—enhanced with photos and drawings, multimedia links to music and film, and an extensive bibliography and source notes—is, above all, a love song to Manhattan’s triumphs.
