Anyone Who Had A Heart
Even a small town girl can have big dreams...
Marcie Brooks has returned to her home town with a baby and a ring on her finger. But for all her grandmother’s insistence that she’s a young widow, the truth is the only boy Marcie has ever loved tragically died before he could make good his promise to wed her.
Sometimes she still feels his presence near her, which is both a comfort and an unnerving sign that she's inherited her grandmother's gifts...
However defending herself from unwanted attention has devastating consequences - Marcie has to leave Sheppey in a hurry. The offer of a job in a smart boutique on the Kings Road in London, arranged via her father’s dodgy connections, seems to offer an ideal escape. But it doesn't take Marcie long to discover that her new Sicilian bosses have other business interests besides fashion...
What We Think..
Catch the mood and feelings of the swinging sixties and relive the fun era of the mini, Twiggy and The Beatles through the eyes of a 'towny' girl making it in the hub of the city.
Well written Dolan at her best. Joclyn Manners FemaleFirst Book Critic
