Immerse yourself in the harsh, precarious, and dangerous life of Union Street, where we meet characters such as Ven Kelly, an eleven-year-old girl; Joanne, who is barely in her twenties and already pregnant; Dinah, a sixty-year-old who still works; Lisa, a mother of two children with her unemployed husband; Muriel, a wife who proudly faces the loss of her beloved husband; and Alice, an old woman willing to fight to the death in her own home. This novel, which portrays all these women, has been adapted into film under the title 'Stanley and Iris', directed by Martin Ritt and starring Jane Fonda and Robert De Niro.
