Praise for Freda Lightfoot:
'Freda Lightfoot's talent for creating believable characters makes this a page-turning read.' (Newcastle Evening Chronicle )
'Charming and exciting . . . A lovely story by an author with extraordinary feeling in her writing.' (Bangor Chronicle )
'Real people and real dramas are her mainstays' (Westmorland Gazette )
'The writer clearly knows her Manchester well, especially the canals, warehouses, factories and humble shops and dwellings of the poor. Her historical research has been painstaking and the sense of the period is very real' (Historical Novel Society )

This was a wonderful story which I couldn't put down. I am now reading the follow up and it is proving to be just as engrossing.

Judging by my personal reading tastes, I've always found Freda Lightfoot's books hit and miss. I either can't get intrested in them or I can't turn the pages fast enough. This book was the latter.
A brilliant read for someone like myself who enjoys a good saga. As I have read so many I sometimes find the plots predictable but in this book i gasped and my jaw dropped at least twice!
Without giving too much away the book ends with the villan vowing revenge... leaving it well open for a follow up book.
Highly recommended.
