Summary
For fans of Eleanor Oliphant is Absolutely Fine and Queenie Malone's Paradise Hotel, comes a story about mothers, daughters and second chances....
It's 1981. Eleven-year-old Sadie adores her beautiful and vibrant mother, Connie, whose dreams of making it big as a singer fill their tiny house in Leeds. It's always been just the two of them. Until the unthinkable happens.
Jean hasn't seen her good-for-nothing daughter Connie since she ran away from the family home in Harlow – or Pram Town as its inhabitants affectionately call it – aged 17 and pregnant.
But in the wake of the Royal Wedding, Jean gets a life-changing call: could she please come and collect the granddaughter she's never met?
We all know how Charles and Diana turned out and Jean and Sadie are hardly a match made in heaven – but is there hope of a happy ending for them?
Written in Joanna Nadin’s trademark dazzling prose, The Talk of Pram Town tells the story of three generations of Earnshaws and asks whether it always has to be like mother, like daughter....

Can’t recommend enough - brilliant
Nadin’s characters spring to life in a compelling story that pulls you in from the first page and the switching POV gives you a wonderful omnipotent view to understand motivations. Wished it was longer, but it ended exactly where it should.
*Wonderfully read by Kelly Hotten.

Aye, great book ;)
I loved this book, the narration was excellent and the story was poignant. I knew a few Jean types in the 70s and 80s! Loved the cultural references from the time, spot on.

Started well but went down hill rapidly, can't even be bothered to finish it still an hour left and I just don't care, I would not recommend this book.
