5.0 out of 5 stars Lancashire where women die of love, 4 April 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: Lancashire, Where Women Die of Love (Paperback)
An affectionate portrait of a marvellouscounty. Lots of interesting facts which even I(a self confessed lancastriaphile) did not know.

A must for all exiled northerners-one read and they will be beating a path back up the M6 to a county which the author clearly loves

5.0 out of 5 stars Wit, warmth & wonder, 23 Nov 2004
By A reader (Gloucestershire) - See all my reviews
Reading Charles Nevin's enchanting Lancashire, Where Women Die of Love is like spending several hours in endlessly diverting and delightful company. It is a book with as rare personality about it, as if the author were at your elbow guiding you this way and that through Lancashire turbulent past and present. Nevin has an unerring eye for the odd, the curious and the downright bizarre, but his sketches of people and places are suffused with wamth and humour. It is not too much to say that Lancashire,Where Women Die of Love is every bit as idiosyncratic as the country he so brilliantly describes

5.0 out of 5 stars Little-know author moves centrestage, 25 Oct 2004
In an age of tedious conformity where it is, to a large extent, assumed that what we hold dear is not only best but not open to serious challenge, how invigorating it is to come across something refreshingly novel ( pun intended ) and articulate.
Like everyone else, I do tend to stick by my old personal favourites - Stephen King, Dickens, Rankin etc - so discovering someone new does still represent a joyous, if infrequent, event.
Nevin is well-versed in the art of the written word having spent his adult life churning out witty prose for a variety of publications ( Independent on Sunday, Guardian etc )...that's to say he knows his way around a dictionary.
He's damned good, too.
This book positvely oozes nostalgia as it lilts along like a classic Kinks single from the mid-sixties.....it's warm, affectionate, witty, stylish and comforting in a warm blanket sort of a way.
In short, it is one of those little gems which falls into the " best-kept secret " category.
I recommend this book without a hint of reservation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Who could resist a book with this title?
Gentle, witty, affectionate. A very pleasant and perceptive read. The title is priceless, and the book does its best to live up to it. The cover art gave me great pleasure too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lush, rolling affectionate whimsy adjoins blinkered folly
Not much to add to what others say - the author clearly loves the county (and its ghostly boundaries) as do I, collects and displays its reliefs wonderfully. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Lancashire Life
As someone who is exactly the same age and from the same town (St. Helens) as Charles Nevin - I share many of his enthusiasms. Read more
