The Loveless Child
(Author) Elsie MasonEngland, 1940s. Minnie has spent most of her life feeling like a plain Jane, watching things happen around her, waiting for something - just something - to once happen to her. When her old best friend, the beautiful and callous Junie, unexpectedly returns to Sixteen Streets, Minnie's not quite sure how to feel. Once inseparable, the two now find themselves at odds. And when Junie strikes up a romance with Minnie's brother Derek, Minnie can't help but feel lonelier than ever... Junie's looking to start anew - she's running from her mucky, strained life in South Manchester, and the cruel man she shared it with. But when she returns to Sixteen Streets, all her old wounds - from her mother to her friends - resurface. And she has no choice but to face them, and this place she once called home. In the midst of it all, can the two women find their way back to each other - and themselves - once again ? Or will Sixteen Streets really break them apart?
