Product Description

BOOKCASE
'Another typically enjoyable novel from the pen of Wales' answer to Catherine Cookson.***'

Review
'This was a convincing story with a host of well-drawn characters, from all levels of society. It was difficult to put down.' (HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW )

'In Beggars & Choosers, Catrin Collier shows us that she knows the streets of Pontyprydd and the Rhonda like no one else. The concrete reality of the streets, shops and houses sits easily on the pages of this meticulously-researched novel, warming the hearts I am sure of the millions of readers in the Welsh diaspora... the luscious, sensual detail of the Collier novel and also the highly personal attachment to its region that characterises Beggars and Choosers.' (MSLEXIA )

'Another typically enjoyable novel from the pen of Wales' answer to Catherine Cookson.***' (BOOKCASE )

Catrin Collier, the author of numerous popular and critically acclaimed novels has brought us yet another winner! (SOUTH WALES ECHO )

'Catrin Collier brings this era and people to life. She makes it possible to imagine the living conditions of the people at that time and the class divide between the wealthy and the poor.' (SOUTH WALES ARGUS )

'Beggars & Choosers is quite graphic in parts, but that fits in with the gritty reality of the age. I enjoyed the book as a whole.' (GWENT GAZETTE )

5.0 out of 5 stars An author with heart and soul, 14 Mar 2004
By Mrs booth (SOUTH OF ENGLAND) - See all my reviews
I have read all of catrin collier's books, and beggars and choosers continues to put heart and soul into this story. It is the kind of story that pulls the reader right into the pages, and actually feel as if your there right along side of the characters. I have cried and laughed and felt every mixed emotion with the story lines.
I had the pleasure of meeting Catrin Collier in Pontypridd when i lived there, and she has signed lots of my books, i was overwhelmed at meeting such a lovely lady, continue the excellent work Catrin, i'm a true fan. I look forward to your next publication.

Yours truly
Mrs lorraine booth - gosport hampshire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just as good, 1 Jan 2004
By A Customer
Well she's done it again.Catrin Collier has come up trumps with her new book "Beggars and Choosers".
The story revolves around a young woman called Sali who through a series of events finds herself at the mercy of a vile man well beneath her supposed station in life.The story follows Sali as she battles her way through fear and oppresion to find a place where she can feel safe with a man who will love her the way she deserves to be loved.

By A Customer
This book was excellent. I am now reading the 2nd book - Winners and Losers which is just as good. I shall be buying more of Catrin Collier's books if this is typical of her work. Brilliant. You must read it!!
