Family betrayal must be forgiven to raise the perfect daughter.
Sixties teenager, Rose Fuller dreams of leaving her derelict basement flat and abusive father. When she finally escapes, she is thrown into the dark underbelly of Notting Hill's gang wars.
Rose and her resourceful daughter, Beatrice find ways to survive. But their decisions have far-reaching consequences for daughter Evie. Will she ever bring herself to forgive them?
This rich family saga deals with the complexity of motherhood and asks how far we might go to protect children from our transgressions.

Yvonne Dykes is part of the diaspora of Irish immigrants who settled in Notting Hill during the fifties and sixties. Growing up in a large family enabled her to collect vivid and compelling stories; many elements of Shop-Bought Flowers are based loosely on true events in her life. A published author, you can find her work on the Fairlight Books website (fairlightbooks.co.uk). Yvonne still lives and works in London.
