Summary:
Young Mary Newton, born into a large Irish family in a small Watford semi, is always getting into trouble. When she isnt choking back fits of giggles at Holy Communion or eating Chappie dog food for a bet, shes accidentally setting fire to the local school. Mary is a trouble magnet. And, unlike her brothers, somehow she always gets caught
Britain in the 1970s is a world where R. White's lemonade is drunk in secret, curry comes in a box marked Vesta and beanz meanz Heinz. In Marys family, money is scarce. Clothes are hand-me-downs, holidays are a church day out to Hastings and meals are variations on a potato theme. But these are good times and everything revolves around the force of nature that is Theresa, Marys mum.
When tragedy unexpectedly blows this world apart, a new chapter in Marys life opens up. She takes to the camp and glamour of Harrods window dressing like a duck to water, and Mary, Queen of Shops is born
