Since winning the Catherine Cookson Prize for Fiction for her first novel, The Hungry Tide, Val Wood has become one of the most popular authors in the UK. Born in the mining town of Castleford, Val came to East Yorkshire as a child and has lived in Hull and rural Holderness where many of her novels are set. She now lives in the market town of Beverley. When she is not writing, Val is busy promoting libraries and supporting many charities. Find out more about Val Wood's novels by visiting her website: www.valeriewood.co.uk
Easy simple read with some good twists and turns. I enjoy books from that era this one starts in1860 and is full of information of that generation and hard times. Catherine Cookson fans will love it! The ending I would have wrote differently, but if you read it you might see why .
