This was a very worthy conclusion to the Four Streets saga. I felt that all the ends were rounded up very nicely, and all the characters that we got to know in the other books were there with their own stories. Nadine Dorries is a great writer and I look forward to reading her next book!

Coming Home to the Four Streets by Nadine Dorries is the 4th book in The Four Streets series. Eric, the local milkman, looks forward to having a morning cuppa with Maggie Trott each day. It gives them a chance to be close and flirt. After all, Eric is married to the acerbic Gladys. Eric just hopes that word never gets back to Gladys. Peggy Nolan is not doing well since Maura Doherty departed for Ireland. Maura kept Peggy on a schedule and made sure that Peggy and her family had food to eat. Paddy Nolan rarely heads to the docks to pick up work preferring to spend his time at the local pub spending what little money he has earned. Maura and Tommy miss the Four Streets. Life is Ireland is not what they expected. It is a hard life running Talk of the Town with little profit. Maura misses her friends, and she is worried about her son, Harry who is being ill-treated by the local schoolteacher. Callum is staying out of trouble, but his twin is getting out of jail soon. His mother, Annie sees only the best in Jimmy, but Callum worries that Jimmy will cause more trouble upon his release. Some people are betting that Jimmy will be back in jail before a week is out. The neighborhood looks forward to the carnival each year which is in a few weeks, and they rely on Captain Conor’s ship to supply some needed items. Unfortunately, there has been no word on the ship and supplies are running low. I found this historical novel easy to read with a cast of realistic characters. I thought the author captured the time-period and the locale. We get to see the hardscrabble life the dock workers and their families experience. They may not have many physical luxuries, but the people in Four Streets have each other. They help each other out when in need. The book does contain foul language and intimate situations. The Four Streets series does need to be read in order because information that is needed is not included in Coming Home to the Four Streets. Coming Home to the Four Streets has a good ending that will make readers of the series smile. If you enjoy dramatic historical sagas, then you will like reading Coming Home to the Four Streets.

I was given a copy of Coming Home to the four streets by Nadine Forties by the publisher in exchange for a honest review. This is the fourth book in the series. This is a great series of great characters. This book had a similar feel to the other books. An enjoyable series.

Coming Home to the Four Streets by Nadine Dorries is the fourth installment of the fabulous historical fiction series: Four Streets Series.

I truly love this series set in Liverpool. It is realistic, raw, emotional with its ups and downs-just like life. I found that at moments the content was dark and sad, at other times light, funny, endearing, and hopeful. It is everything that I hoped this most recent addition would add to this genuine series, and am so glad that it was able to do justice to the wonderful cast of characters of Four Streets.

For anyone that loves a wonderful and thoughtful historical fiction, I highly recommend this series.

5/5 stars

I loved this book and Nadine Dorries writes a lovely saga.

Set in Liverpool Tommy and Maura Doherty have moved back to Ireland hoping to better themselves after coming into money, they are leaving behind all of their good friends, who over the years they have helped on more than one occasion. They have kept the rent paid on their old house just in case.....

The carnival is fast approaching which is the highlight of the four streets and gives the poor families something to look forward to. With the help of a local boy done good as captain of a ship, the carnival is always a success. As his supplies always carry the necessary goods, plus extra to keep the families in comfort over the cold bitter winter.

Poor Peggy Nolan has 7 sons to support as her idle husband Paddy never works so she has to scrimp and beg from the streets to keep them all alive. She usually relies on Maura to help her out and Tommy to dig her lazy husband out of bed each morning to get to work on the docks. But with them in Ireland, things go from bad to worse. On top of that, there is now the threat of Frank the skank the nasty local copper, and his awful wife moving in next door and put a blight on the carnival.
Such a wonderful warm book with drama and sadness of the families supporting and struggling on The four streets. Some great warm characters. Really good book.
Thank you, NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this lovely book. xx
