Product Description

Review

Humour, toughness, resolution and generosity are Cookson virtues...In the specialised world of women's popular fiction, Cookson has created her own territory The Times

Product Description

When fifteen-year-old Cissie Brodie loses her parents to cholera, she is forced out of the family cottage and left to raise her nine siblings alone. Although desperately poor, the strong-willed Cissie determines to build a new home for the Brodies. It is only a rough stone shelter, but to Cissie and her family it is enough to keep them from the workhouse. They have friends, but charity cannot always spare them the harsh reality of their struggle and the bitterness of those who wish them harm. But can love, when it arrives, teach Cissie not to fear the world beyond the dwelling place? Set in the 1830's, "The Dwelling Place" is the powerful tale of a tenacious family's battle to overcome the odds.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVED THIS ONE !, 7 April 2008
By Leeds lass "The Banker" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This is another one of cookson`s best. I couldn`t put this down. If you enjoy the rags to riches, with a little romance and even brutality thrown in - you will love this.

5.0 out of 5 stars realisticly set!, 14 Dec 1999
By A Customer
Unlike others this book could almost be real, the settings, language etc. are not exaggerated as a lot of authors do to make it sound 'old', cissie seems to show reactions to things as many would probably have done,but it also has that touch of fiction that is needed for any good book! A must for all who want a realease from everyday life, but not at the expense of reality!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reading, 17 April 1999
By A Customer
This book tells the story of how things were and was so true of that period in time. Feelings and thoughts are well portrayed and makes this book so believable, one could almost be there.
