When Janie Ryan is born, she is destined to be the latest in a long line of Aberdeen fishwives. Ahead of her lies a life filled with feckless men, filthy council flats, and bread & marge sandwiches. But Janie isn’t like the rest of them. She wants a different life. And Janie, born and bred for combat, is ready to fight for it.

Depressing realistic.
Excellent character development and insight. Ultimately an exploration of a harsh, realistic upbringing.
Avoid if easily depressed.

Well written
Well written story but I found the subject matter rather hard to take. Overall not my cup of tea, but mainly due to the subject itself no reflection of the writing or the performance.

wonderful
A beautifully writen and poignant portrait of, for want of a better word, underclass life in the U.K. I really love this book.

good story
Very realistic, Decent story line, could do with a bit less of the snot all over the baby face stuff (yuk) but on the whole realistic, the writer has obviously done her research, would recommend if you like gritty realistic stuff.
