I really enjoyed reading this book, although I was a bit sceptical at first because of the Tyneside slang words in it, but after a short while I got used to it and I think it added to the authenticity of the story. Set just before the second world war which is a genre that I really like. Tells the story of young Lizzie who is not looked after or loved by her mother ( who seems to be really nasty to her all through the book) but the rest of her family look out for her especially her grandmother on her dad's side of the family, she takes her to dancing lessons and this sets her up for life, much to her mum's disgust! This book was written by the widow of the late Andrew Sachs and sometimes you think umm another celebrity author but this was really good and as there is due to be a sequel coming soon I can't wait to read it.
