Hide Her Name: The Four Streets Trilogy

Product Information

Daisy wasn't scared to see the ghostly Bernadette with Kathleen. She often saw her in the graveyard and up and down Nelson Street, as she flew straight through the wall into what had once been her home, number forty-two. She was asked this question on a regular basis and her answer was always the dutiful same: 'Yes, Father.' To speak of anything that occurs in this Priory would be the greatest sin for which no forgiveness would ever be forthcoming. Ye will be left to burn alone in the eternal flames of hell and damnation. Do ye understand, girl?'

He would often wake Peggy in the middle of the night with the sound of his match striking through the dark, providing a split second of bright illumination. Neither the sisters nor Mrs Malone had ever mentioned to Daisy the other reason that she had been sent to the Priory.

Reviews

In the Four Streets in Liverpool, a dreadful murder has been committed, and 14-year-old Kitty Doherty is pregnant with the dead man's child. Daisy knew she should tell someone what she had seen. But Daisy wasn't allowed to tell anyone anything. In fact, Daisy missed Mrs Malone a great deal. She had always told Daisy what she could and could not do, and with no one to guide her, Daisy was lost.

Aye, we are that, but anyway, she is simple. No one would ever believe a word she said. I will write now that she is happy and improved. That she is running the show and, sure, isn't that the truth? Wasn't that just the grandest bit of rabbit pie we ever ate for supper?' Daisy presumed that they could not have known, because Father James forbade Daisy to speak to anyone about it. The money for the Priory would stop if she left. It must follow her wherever she is and, anyway, the sisters in Dublin would have too many questions to ask should she be moved.' You must work hard and help Mrs Malone in the kitchen,' the sisters at the orphanage had told her. And, sure enough, working hard was what she had done every day since.
