Once Upon A Time In England

Walsh . . . is a lively, keen-eyed guide to Warrington and the north west. The subject matter is harrowing but, as with Brass, Walsh's writing has a wonderful, propulsive exuberance. Tim Teeman The Times 20080328

"* 'A graphic snapshot of a northern family's daily life...You'll develop such an affinity for brooding, talented Robbie Fitzgerald and his Tamil princess wife Susheela that you'll be willing them to escape their ultimately doomed life. Utterly gripping.' - She * 'Helen Walsh is the real thing; a serious writer to watch. Once Upon a Time in England is an impressive second book. She just keeps on getting better.' - M.J. Hyland * 'Spellbinding and utterly unique.' - Independent on 'Brass' * 'An incredibly uplifting experience. She will knock you sideways' - Guardian on 'Brass'"
