A very interesting story about a young girl who has a unbelievable life. Really a hard life. The end result is equally unbelievable but it easy reading and keeps your interest. I recommend it. This author is very talented and writes stories that tug at your heart.

Classic Cookson
Good story, well-drawn characters, all affected by the rigid English class system of the time.

not one of her better ones
This could have been much more romantic, and Catherine Cookson has done much better. But the romance wasn't so great, and there was a problem with a couple of the main characters, namely that they started out good guys and the author, apparently to suit her plot, changed them into bad guys midway.
