Showcasing the strength of women
I think my enjoyment of this book stems from the Yorkshire heritage in my family. Raggie Aggie is so much like my mum, and her mum too, that standing in Millie’s shoes felt somewhat familiar. Aggie’s no-nonsense attitude is something I grew up with. The commonality was endearing. As hard-faced as Aggie can be (a product of growing up and scraping a living in difficult times), she is also a remarkably caring woman. She treats Millie as if she is her own and will protect her fiercely. Millie, a pretty young girl and then woman finds herself attracting unwanted attention. Millie’s birth mother had fallen into the wrong hands and Aggie is determined that the same doesn’t happen to Millie. To this end, the content of the book isn’t all light humour. There is depravity and death, and folk with less-than-honest intentions. I loved this book when I first read it years ago and I enjoyed it just as much second time around. The setting, the characters and the writing style are utterly brilliant. The book is from a genre I really enjoy reading and I don’t doubt that I’ll pick this up again in the future!

Well written and brilliant story
Catherine Cookson is a brilliant story teller.This book was great , a story full of ups and downs. Catherine cookson is a genius.I fell in love with this story initially trough the TV movie adaption, but the book is so much better. Similarities yes but much more defined and descriptive.I would definately recommend a Catherine cookson novel if your after a good read.

A tale of unrequited love that comes right in the end.
This story is a page turner for the romantic at heart. It's not the traditional love story but the emotion of the secondary character is what leads this tale. As usual CC has written from the heart and those of us of a certain age know the quiet romance that is not the 'in your face' modern kind. CC makes you feel for each character.
