The fifteen streets : a novel / Catherine Cookson.
Life in the Fifteen Streets was tough--a continual struggle for survival. Some families gave up and descended into a dismal state of grinding poverty. Others, like the O'Briens--and especially John O'Brien--fought grimly for a world they were only rarely allowed to glimpse. John O'Brien caught his 'glimpse' on the day he met Mary Llewellyn. Mary, with her slim body and soft brown hair; Mary, who lived well, had beautiful clothes₇who worked because she wanted to, not because she had to... When John O'Brien fell in love with Mary Llewellyn, he knew there was a gulf between them that nothing could bridge--it was the gulf of the Fifteen Streets.
