The Business

Large Hardback

Condition: Good

Imelda Dooley is scared. Really scared. She's played hard and fast and now she's been caught. She's pregnant and now she's on her own. Her father not a man to mess with will see that somebody pays for this. And it's not going to be her. So Imelda Dooley tells a lie. A lie that literally causes murders. When Mary Dooley's husband is killed in the night's events she knows she must graft to keep the family afloat. And graft she does becoming a name in her own right. But she still has to watch her daughter's life spiral into a vicious hate-fuelled cycle of drugs and prostitution. Caught up in the carnage that is Imelda's existence are Mary's adored grandchildren Jordanna and Kenny. Pretty little Jordanna isn't yet three and she already knows far too much. All she can do is look after her baby brother Kenny and try not to draw unwanted attention to herself. Set in the East End of London from the tail-end of the seventies up until the present-day THE BUSINESS is a tale of drugs prostitution and a young girl's fight for survival -- against all the odds.
