Product Description
Catherine Cookson's story about the Broadhursts, a mining family who appear to outsiders to be happy, loyal and united. But it is Jinny - wife, mother, sister - who holds them together. Her pride and her strength prevents their fears and hates from overwhelming them.
From the Back Cover
The Broadhursts were a mining family and, to outsiders, they appeared to be happy, loyal and united. But it was Jinny - wife, mother, sister - who held them together. Her pride and her strength prevented their fears and hates from overwhelming them.
There was Jack, her younger son, trapped into marrying a shrew; and Lottie, her sister, who was not quite...normal. And there was Larry, the bright one, the handsome one, who was obsessed with the memory of the girl who had jilted him. She was married now, they said, and happily too. But now he was suffused with anger, together with pain and a reborn longing. He vowed she would not make a laughing-stock of him again. But could he do what his pride told him he must...?

This truly is a good 'can't put down' read. Beautifully
written. The characters are so complex and interesting as is the whole story.
