Product Description

Product Description

Maggie Gallacher had all but read the print off the elegant, gold-trimmed card. An invitation from the Duke of Moorshire to an evening at Lea Hall? She could still scarcely believe her eyes, even if it was a long-overdue honour - after all her husband Rod had done for the town. There were a lot of Gallachers around Fellburn, and all were equally incredulous. Their Mam was a big-hearted woman, with a laugh to match, but was she really the type to go hob-nobbing with the aristocracy? It would be a night to remember, all right! And indeed it was. But had Maggie, or any of the Gallachers, foreseen how it would turn out, how irrevocably it would change the lives of all of them, she would have torn that invitation into tiny pieces and thrown them on the fire...

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful depiction of the tribulations of family life., 12 Aug 2001
As only Catherine Cookson could tell it.....a wonderful story of a family as it evolves from hardship and poverty into a life of prosperity and the experiences of husband, wife and children as they develop through their lifetimes. The experiences of each member of the family as seen through their eyes and the eyes of their mother tug at the heartstrings as a reader feels the strong emotions connected with each character. This book could be a modern day saga although its setting takes place in another era. Truly enjoyable reading.
