With Your Crooked Heart by Helen Dunmore

With Your Crooked Heart by Helen Dunmore

Louise married Paul, brother to Johnnie... Yet she doesn't get one man with this union - she gets two. Born twelve years apart in a one-bedroom flat in Barking, Paul and Johnnie are close: they're good at making money and make taking power look easy. But while Paul deals on contaminated land, Johnnie is adept at dealing in crime.
