Items related to Mulligan's Yard
It all began with the turn of a card in a seedy gambling den. In 1920, the Burton-Masseys lost their home Pendleton Grange, their lands, and several businesses in the heart of Bolton. Reduced to a life of hardship, the widow and three daughters of the Burton-Masseys took refuge in Caldwell Farm, all that was left of their former wealth. James Mulligan was the man who now owned their lands, a silent brooding man whose manners teetered on the brink of rudeness, but, in spite of this, many women found him attractive. Who was he? What was he? Did he hide a dark secret in the cellars of Pendleton Grange? And why did he involve himself so deeply in the lives of the Burton-Massey girls? As the world roared into the Twenties, those who lived and worked in Mulligan’s Yard went about their business and kept quiet. But a battle between Good and Evil was about to rage of its own accord. Mulligan’s Yard is one of Ruth Hamilton’s most powerful and impressive books, teeming with rich and colourful characters and evoking wonderfully the mood of a bygone age.

Review:
James Mulligan is a good man. When his father wins a house, land and several businesses in a card game, James resolves to return them to their rightful owners--Louisa Burton-Massey and her three beautiful daughters. But after his father's death, he can't just give the property back--there are too many debts for that--so he endeavours to turn them into a profitable offering before handing them over. Things don't go as smoothly as he hopes. The Burton-Masseys are an unpredictable lot and one of them in particular causes his heart to lurch about like a marionette. Plus James is not all he seems; once, sometimes twice a day, he descends into the cellar of his house and locks himself in, away from the prying eyes of his servants. Here he keeps "the evidence of his sinful soul"--a secret to which he returns day in day out, a secret so dark he can't share it with anyone.
Book Description:
Mulligan's Yard is crammed with quirky, memorable characters who bring 1920s Bolton to life. Tilly and Mona Walsh, the two prattling washerwomen; Diane Hewitt, a bright, light-fingered ragamuffin who steals to feed her bed-bound grandmother and her rickets-ridden brother; Peter Wilkinson, a respected local pastor with an ugly skeleton in his closet. Ruth Hamilton is the bestselling author of 12 novels, including Whisper to the Living, The Dream Sellers and The Corner House. Like these earlier novels, Mulligan's Yard is set in the northwest of England, where Hamilton was born. An immensely readable, companionable book, it'll be a sure-fire hit with Catherine Cookson fans. --Jane Honey
