All the Beggars Riding

When Lara was twelve, and her younger brother Alfie eight, their father died in a helicopter crash. A prominent plastic surgeon, and Irishman, he had honed his skills on the bomb victims of the Troubles. But the family grew up used to him being absent: he only came to London for two weekends a month to work at the Harley Street Clinic.

Cand Lara avea doisprezece ani, iar fratele ei mai mic, Alfie, opt, tatal lor a murit intr-un accident de elicopter. Un proeminent chirurg plastician si irlandez, si-a perfectionat abilitatile asupra victimelor bombelor din Troubles.
