Product Description

Review

'An inviting fable' Birmingham Pos

Product Description

Powerful, hard-hearted Leonard Mears ruthlessly presides over his wife and children, exiling them from the outside world and brutally punishing any disobedience. But he is also a man with a dark secret; an illegitimate daughter that he forced his sister to bring up. The girl is now a young woman who, unbeknown to him, is determined to find the father that abandoned her.

James Peterson, a gifted young man, runs Mear’s factory with more success than Leonard’s own sons. He lives for the day he can have his own business and make his fortune. Only then will he be able to declare his love for beautiful Isabel Mears who he means to release from the gilded cage her father has created. But then the lonely, lovely Sally comes in to his life, turning his heart and dreams upside down.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just finished , excellent book , easy reading., 17 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gilded Cage (Hardcover)
I found this book very easy to read because its storyline was quite believable and I was unable to put it down. The author described the time and the people so easily that you felt like you knew them. The storyline described life as you would imagine at the time. Another excellent book for your collection.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant but very unoriginal., 17 Dec 1999
By claire@chastings.freeserve.co.uk (Southampton, England. UK) - See all my reviews
This was only my second Jo Cox novel, but I noticed characters and situations identical to my first - "OUTCAST". The characterisations, whilst good, are instantly familiar. It is easy to read and requires no effort on the readers part, as it's easy to go along with. There are no surprises, but a cosy feeling that you're among old friends. Pleasant but very unoriginal.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dreary and derivative, 24 Oct 1999
By A Customer
This is Josephine Cox's seven millionth book and it shows. The storyline feels familiar from the outset and there is no characterisation beyond what the plot demands, it's almost cynically aimed at the lowest common denominator. Several times in this story I felt that characters were completely transformed just to suit the latest plot twist. To compare Josephine Cox with Catherine Cookson is miles wide of the mark. In a genre where there are many, better writers (Lyn Andrews for one), it's hard to believe that such formulaic stuff sells in such huge quantities. Saga and romance readers deserve better!

1.0 out of 5 stars Exceedingly boring, a poorly written book.
I read this book, and only finished it out of curiosity, however it ended as predicted.

I really can't believe that it is a best seller. Read more
