Loving Geordie
A disturbing and powerful coming-of-age story
It is August 1960 and Glue Terrace, overlooking the River Tyne; is due to be demolished. The residents themselves have already been shifted. In the midst of this desolation lives fifteen-year-old Leslie, whose childhood is rapidly being snatched from him.
Then in a derelict building, identical twins are found dead. The house had been their playground. But now they are lying side by side, like two sleeping angels on a tomb. Suspicion immediately falls on Geordie. But Leslie is convinced of his brother’s innocence and is determined to prove it.
Patricia Jones has had a varied acting career. Theatre work includes An Inspector Calls, Murder in the Red Barn and Strippers, although she is perhaps best-known for her role of Jean Turnbull in the long-running children’s TV serves, Byker Grove.
