Ada Gantry was born in the Portswood slums to a beloved father crippled at work and saw her embittered mother constantly humiliating him with her sharp tongue. Ada falls in love with Clem Hargreaves, a young man also from the slums whom her mother strongly disapproves of, and fate plays a cruel hand when a tragic accident occurs.
Ada’s strength and determination pulls her through and together they work hard to achieve their ambition of owning their own successful pub, The Sixpenny Winner.
However when two brothers join them to help with the heavy work, Ada soon realises that her family is being torn apart and discovers evil and revenge of a kind she has not encountered before where all their lives, including those of her two daughters, can never be the same again.
Dramatic, heartbreaking and heart-warming, betrayals and full of passion, The Sixpenny Winner is the best yet from Alexandra Connor.
