The fourth in the very successful series about Kevin (a Catholic) and Sadie (a Protestant) who meet (The Twelfth Day of July), grow up and fall in love (Across the Barricades) and leave Belfast to marry and find some peace (Into Exile). A Proper place finds them still in Liverpool, with a two-room flat and baby Brendan, and coping with Kevin's sullen seventeen-year-old brother, Gerald;' but a job and a tied cottage on a Cheshire farm offer a new direction. Easy to read, easy to get 'hooked on', but not without substance.
