The bestselling autobiography by the enduringly respected business leader, popular for his incisive and witty contributions to the BBC hit show Dragon’s Den, explains not only how he got to and stayed at the very top of British retailing, but also how anyone can achieve their dreams in business by following his simple guidelines.
Abandoned at the age of 3 by her mother outside the gates of the Poor Sisters of Nazareth Convent in Belfast, Frances and her two sisters were left to the tender mercies of the nuns. Brutally beaten, worked like a slave, abused and molested, the convent regime stripped her of everything – her innocence, education and any self-esteem. But the hope of rescue or escape continued to burn inside her. Suffer the Little Children is a gripping and moving story of Frances’s determined and successful struggle in later life, to force an admission of guilt and an apology from the nuns who had tormented her.
