      'The serious issues which affect every family are told with exceptional craftsmanship - and it made me laugh too. Perfect." Eamonn O'Neal - The Manchester Evening News Julie O'Hagan is worried. It's time for daughter Bridget to start school but the ordinary suburb where Julie was raised is not that ordinary any more. Organic eateries and wine bars have opened up, the Broccoli Brigade have moved in and vegetarian types in beanie hats with hummus-guzzling kids are taking up all the places at Broadoak, the best primary in the area. Husband Billy is loving and clever and looks like Jim Morrison but he is prone to mood swings. Billy is adamant Bridget will not go to St. Joseph's, the local Catholic school, but Julie is equally determined she will not end up in her old school, Priory Road. Both have their reasons, buried in the past. The hunt for a school for Bridget is on.
