This book I read under the title of The Pit Girl, which is so confusing seeing it as The Single Winds. This is a very enjoyable book that takes Katharine (Kate) from London to Durham. At times it was a bit slow but once you get into it you cannot put it down.

Most enjoyable

Good pace and had good twists and turns which kept me engrossed until the end which I thought was quite abrupt.

The pit girl

Another enjoyable read. A book that is straight to the point and no fussy words of description of scenery,which I appreciate.

I loved this book. It's a tale of life in a Northern pit town, when mining was the main industry. Completely different from my life and experiences, but the author writes in such a way that it pulls me in. The men and women have traditional roles, but it's wonderful to see that there are thoughtful, kind men amongst the masses. Grit and kindness - and totally enjoyable.

I just loved this book. It was well written, so much so the characters came a live. The end was predictable, but it's good to have a happy end sometimes!
