Description: Things are never dull in the O'Connell family. With her older brother out at work, Fiona O'Connell is often left in charge at home, dealing with the terror of her little twin sisters, Mona and Rona and their line dancing routines. Still she thinks that life in their tenement flat is far less interesting than Emily Bronte's, and the books that she is fascinated by. Tragedy is not confined to Victorian novels and Fiona's happy domestic set-up is about to change.
