Review: Heart Warming
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is a gently compelling story, narrated by young Meggie as she grows up around Tyneside in the sixties.The author has created a wonderful world of nostalgia with her Grandparents corner shop, the emerging music scene and a whole host of characters, from the paper boys and the teddy boys to the horrible Billy Fish and his sly mother. There's a family secret, the struggle to succeed at the grammar school and the first awkward stirrings of romance.It's a heart warming, well written story with lots of attention to detail.Recommended for all ages.
