The Lady On My Left
Alison Read, orphaned when she was two years old, had for some years
lived and worked with Paul Aylmer, her appointed guardian. Paul, an
experienced antique dealer whose business thrived in the south-coast town of
Sealock, had come to rely on Alison, who had quickly learned the trade. But
when he had asked her to value the contents of Beacon Ride, a chain of
events was set off that led to the exposure of a secret he had for years
managed to conceal. As a result, Alison’s relationship with Paul came under
threat and she knew that only by confronting the situation head-on would her
ambitions be realised. Part-mystery, part-love story, and with its
fascinating glimpses of the world of antiques in the 1960s, The Lady on my
Left displays yet another facet of Catherine Cookson’s remarkable talent.
The Glass Virgin
Annabella Lagrange was the only child of a wealthy family, owners of a
glass-works in the North-East of England. When Annabella was seven, she
thought the world a delightful place to live in, and only occasionally
wondered why her parents never took her beyond the gates of their
magnificent country estate. When she was ten she decided that the seclusion
didn't really matter because when she grew up she would marry her handsome
cousin Stephen and never be lonely again.
The Year Of The Virgins
It had never been the best of marriages and over recent years it had
become effectively a marriage in name and outward appearance only. Yet, in
the autumn of 1960, Winifred and Daniel Coulson presented an acceptable
facade to the outside world, for Daniel had prospered sufficiently to allow
them to live at Wearcill House, a mansion situated in the most favoured
outskirt of the Tyneside town of Fellburn. Of their children, it was Donald
on whom Winifred doted to the point of obsession, and now he was to be
married, Winifred's prime concern was whether Donald was entering wedlock
with an unbesmirched purity of body and spirit, for amidst the strange
workings of her mind much earlier conceptions of morality and the teachings
of the Church held sway.
Maggie Rowan
There were plenty around Fellburn who said she was as plain as a
pikestaff, but Maggie Rowan more than made up for it by her dogged
determination to succeed. They reckoned that once a miner's daughter like
Maggie had tasted power, she'd be like a beggar on horseback - and ride
straight to hell. Maggie's two main desires in life were a child she could
love, and one of those big houses on Brampton Hill - which was what she had
in her sights when she asked Christopher Taggart to marry her. And she meant
to have them both, despite the scorn of some folk who thought they knew what
Maggie Rowan deserved, better than she did herself.
The Blind Miller
Mary Hetherington was a mother who dominated
her family. She was kind, efficient and generous - providing they did what
she wanted. But when David brought home Sarah from the 'wrong end' of the
Fifteen Streets, a girl who brought life and laughter into her dustless
house, she soon took against her. Then when she discovered that Sarah was
loved not just by David but by all her menfolk, Mary Hetherington realised
that this 'interloper', if allowed to go unchecked, would become a challenge
to her authority - while Sarah, fo
