Synopsis: In this Depression-era tale of love and endurance, a young woman must decide how much she&’ll sacrifice to protect her family. Dolly Tomkins has always known what it is to live hand to mouth. In the mean streets of a Salford struggling under the mantle of the Great Depression, the only one making a decent living is the talleyman. Though Nifty Jack has a money bag where his heart should be, Dolly&’s mam is in hock up to her ears and in dire need of assistance. But when Jack offers to wipe the slate clean, Dolly just can&’t bring herself to trust him. Instead, she takes him on at his own game and in the process endangers everything she holds most dear as a revelation about the past rocks the very foundations of her world. Previously published as Watch for the Talleyman, this saga is perfect for fans of Nadine Dorries and Kitty Neale.
