Publisher's Summary
Young Mary Newton, born into a large Irish family in a small Watford semi, is always getting into trouble. When she isn’t choking back fits of giggles at Holy Communion or eating Chappie dog food for a bet, she’s accidentally setting fire to the local school. Mary is a trouble magnet. And unlike her brothers, somehow she always gets caught....
Britain in the 1970s is a world where R. White's lemonade is drunk in secret, curry comes in a box marked "Vesta", and beanz meanz Heinz. In Mary’s family money is scarce. Clothes are hand-me-downs, holidays are a church day out to Hastings, and meals are variations on a potato theme. But these are good times, and everything revolves around the force of nature that is Theresa, Mary’s mum.
When tragedy unexpectedly blows this world apart, a new chapter in Mary’s life opens up. She takes to the camp and glamour of Harrods window dressing like a duck to water, and Mary, Queen of Shops is born....More from the same

Very entertaining....only a minor issue
this is worth a listen. only issue I had with this was due to the irish accent I found it spoken a little quickly so had to really concentrate when listening. I did try slowing down audible to .75 speed but sounded silly. the content was funny and enjoyable, just wished the author narrator talked a little slower for those of us who aren't used to everyday irish accents. Overall quite amusing!
