The Ha'Penny Place (Ivy Rose #3)
Gemma Jackson

But being in the ha’penny place may soon be a thing of the past for Ivy. She is fast turning herself into ‘Miss Ivy Rose’, successful businesswoman. With her talent for needlework and a team of neighbourhood helpers, she has begun to supply an upmarket shop in Grafton Street with beautifully dressed dolls.
Her fiancé Jem’s livery business is going from strength to strength, and Emmy, the little girl Jem is raising, is thriving and happy.
Then Ivy’s wealthy friend Ann Marie Gannon, with her beloved camera, spends a day at the airport photographing planes.
Little does she know that her visit can destroy all Ivy’s hopes for the future.
A fascinating account of life in the tenements of old Dublin with all its harshness, courage, humanity and humour.
