The Bookseller
Following the success of the re-issue of 'Run Zan Run' this is another classic Catherine MacPhail title. Often requested at events, this in in fact her second novel after 'Run Zan Run'.
Kerry and her mum have recently moved into new council accommodation in a tower block. Kerry's dad has recently left them, and Kerry and her mum are forging a new life together. But Kerry's mum is not the calmest or the most patient of people, particularly when it comes to getting on with the new neighbours. And when Kerry's mum refuses to be intimidated by Ma Lafferty, the local money lender, Kerry finds out that Ma Lafferty's daughter more than takes after her mother...A brilliantly topical story with flashes of humour detailing how a whole community can suffer from a few individuals.
