Set in a working-class neighborhood in northeast England, the novel follows seven women of different ages marked by the deindustrialization of the 1970s. Poverty, violence, alcohol abuse, and prejudice run through their stories, built as interlinked short narratives, with neighborly solidarity as a backdrop.

For readers aged 17 and over interested in social realism, working-class fiction, and gender perspectives.
