Product Description

Book Description

Just A Saying is Catherine Cookson's final work to be published and shows her at her most intimate and inspirational.

Product Description

This collection of poems draws on many themes that will be familiar to the readers of Catherine Cookson's novels: love, work, class and the beauty of nature. She also shares more personal thoughts, reflections on her own writing, marriage to her beloved Tom and life in the north of England.

From the earliest poem included here, written in 1925 when Catherine Cookson was nineteen years old, to poems written just before her death in 1998, this anthology spans the gamut of her life and work. The poems are characterized by her down-to-earth common sense and the hard-won philosophy she developed for herself. In 'Brushed Nylon' she tackles the subject of a failed relationship while 'The Daily Round' takes a look at working life. In more personal moments poems such as 'Slow Me Down' talk of her feelings about growing old and 'The Joy of the Country' recalls a holiday in Wales.

Catherine Cookson remains one of the nation's favourite storytellers. She completed an astonishing 104 works in her lifetime, books which continue to bring pleasure to millions of readers. Just A Saying is her final work to be published and shows Catherine Cookson at her most intimate and inspirational.

An absolute treasure 22 Oct 2003
Format:Paperback
Catherine Cookson is terribly underrated in the literary world and has often been described as writing too simply, however, this is her style and charm. Catherine's books are plain talking, 'as it is' type books. 'Just a Saying' is a compilation of Catherine's thoughts and although it could be classed as poetry she asks in one of her poems that you don't call her prattlings poetry! One of the most compelling things about this book is the sheer honesty with which the author writes. Cookson writes the things we all think but wouldn't dare to say, such as why should we try to get on with people just because we are related to them and that our real kin are the people we meet in the street and form bonds with. It is this honesty of self expression that is so refreshing and comforting to those of us who have similar thoughts and beliefs and thought we were evil to think them and never discussed them with anyone. In this book we have a window into the thoughts of the true mind of a real woman, often contemplating on her life, meditating on the world and the relationships people have with each other.

In short, this is an enchanting book of the metaphysical and is a must for all those philosophical. This is a book you will keep and refer back to time and time again.
