Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Phoebe Parsons is a liar...a shameless harlot with unscrupulous morals....
Phoebe Parsons is destitute, disgraced and alone. After her mistress tragically dies, Phoebe is forced back onto the poverty-ridden streets of Manchester by her unforgiving new master. Desperately searching for work as a domestic maid, Phoebe soon discovers her reputation is in ruins.
Fearing for her future and haunted by the harshness of her abandonment, Phoebe finds herself living with thieves and drunks in the smog and squalor - until she meets Victor Hayes. An officer removed from his duty and shamed by a cruel lie, Mr Hayes is a kind face among the uncertain threats of living in the alleyways. But Phoebe soon realises the sacrifices she must make to rebuild from the ground up....
As their two worlds collide, can they make a new life from the wreckage? Or will the judgement of their peers make a pauper of Phoebe?

Enjoyable Book
I enjoyed the story but I can't stand the narrator, all the men voices she does sound like old men of 60 + and most of the women sound like OAP not young girls which is what they are supposed to be, which sort of spoils the story

Intriguing...
This book held my interest from the start. I normally listen to audio books in the car but I had to know what was going to happen with all it's twists and turns so I listened whenever I had the chance. The narrator determines whether I read a book or not, the narration of this book was excellent.

Awkward at times
I found the voices didn’t be suiting the characters and Pheobe was quite annoying the way she jumps from one senerrio to another very confusing.

Old men's tales
Shame the way the very good reader decided to portray by her voice that most of the characters were elderly, though clearly they were not, I found it hard to visualise them in any other way.

Okay but...
This book was well written, but the characters drove me crazy.
They both seemed so daft at times, it ruins the story. There were times I almost gave up on listening to it
Some people may enjoys this book, but it wasn't for me.
The characters seemed to have little common sense.
