Born to Trouble by Rita Bradshaw is a compelling saga guaranteed to tug at the heartstrings. Perfect for fans of Rosie Goodwin and Kitty Neale.
Born into the worst of families in Sunderland's filthy, crime-ridden East End, Pearl Croft's childhood is miserable. Shortly after her violent, drunken father is killed in a fight, Pearl's elder brothers are sent to prison leaving her, still a child herself, to care for her baby brothers. Pearl's mother brings her 'clients' to the house, one of whom has a penchant for little girls...
Terrified and hurt, Pearl runs away from home and is found, feverish and near death, by Romany gypsies. But this is far from the end of Pearl's struggles. Years pass, and as Pearl reaches womanhood she begins to wonder if she is simply born to trouble or will she find happiness one day?

Enjoyed reading about pearl and her family. A good book liked reading when in the gypsy camp. 5 stars

This was a great easy reading book. You can feel your emotions changing from happiness to sadness as circumstances change to pearl and the struggles of life

This was a bit of a jumpy read with nothing much to recommend it. Slightly disappointed, but I hope future Rita Bradshaw novels will be worth the read.
