I usually really like this author's books but I found this one quite hard going or maybe it just wasn't holding my attention.

Back Cover Blurb:
Little Angela O'Rourke is just six years old when her world falls apart. One of a large Irish family, Angela is passed over to the care of her aunt and uncle. It's a common practice in 1950s Ireland, when there's not enough money to go round, but for Angela it means only one thing: that her parents don't love her any more.
Angela's new home is peaceful enough for the next few years but when she's sixteen her uncle takes to drink and it's not safe for her to stay any longer. Liverpool beckons, and so she sets off to train there as a nurse. Change is in the air as the 1960s get underway, and before long Angela's moved on from nursing to the exciting new world of fashion design. Soon she's making a mark with her own boutique, but the pain of a disastrous love affair takes the edge off her success, and she heads home to Ireland, where her aunt has recently died.
Sorting through papers, Angela makes an astonishing discovery. As she learns the truth about the past she is finally free of the old sorrow: and a brighter and happier new future beckons. ( )
