Praise for Anna Jacobs:
'Catherine Cookson fans will cheer!' (Peterborough Evening Telegraph )
'Anna Jacobs' books are deservedly popular. She is one of the best writers of Lancashire sagas around.' (Historical Novels Review )
'An exciting book of immensely brilliant character portrayal and a great storyline' (Bangor Chronicle on OUR EVA )
'Another cracking read with a vivid insight into family relationships' (Coventry Evening Telegraph on OUR EVA )
'Once again you have given us a story that has me hooked from the first page to the last.

Product Description
In 1845 Annie Gibson can finally leave Salem Street. Her dreams of being able to open an elegant dressmaking salon in the High Street of Bilsden, a Lancashire mill town, have come true. And she is going to take her father and his second family with her, away from poverty, away from the Rows.
But Annie has not left trouble behind. Someone is trying to undermine her business. Her family have their own ideas about what they want to do with their lives. And several men are persistently trying to win favour with the beautiful young widow - including Frederick Hallam, the mill owner, and Daniel O'Connor, her childhood friend.
As Annie gets better acquainted with both, she becomes increasingly confused about her feelings. Can she really be in love? And can she risk trusting any man again? --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Format:Paperback
I loved this book - the author was unknown to me but it is written in the style of Audrey Howard and to some extend Josephine Cox. If you're a Lancashire lass (or lad) you will love it - if you're a southener you may not understand it!
Format:Paperback
Enjoyable book very easy read that you can easily lose yourself in couldn't put it down. Can't fault Anna Jacobs.
Format:Paperback
what a fantastic book to go along with all five of the Gibson family saga books. It had me hooked and I would recommend it to anyone who likes a bit of every emotion from a book that you can get.

I would not describe an old library book as 'Excellent' It was rather dirty and had obviously been read many times.
