When The Cuckoo Cries Sharon Hegarty

'I told you to stay away from here, I told you not to come near.....you really should have listened.'When Jessica Armstrong first met Marie Nolan in the autumn of 1969, neither girl realised that the resulting legacy would last much longer than their fourteen year friendship and that only when it had finally ended would Jessica's story be forced to truly begin. A decade later, in the long, unsettled summer of 1992- when unemployment and crime threaten to tear the small town of Hindley apart- two women's lives collide in ways that neither could have ever imagined, forcing both to face the devastating consequences of a loved ones shocking actions and to make decisions that they'd never expected to ever have to. How far would you be prepared to go to try and save your son?
