Praise for Anna Jacobs: 'Catherine Cookson fans will cheer!'
Anna Jacobs' books are deservedly popular. She is one of the best writers of Lancashire sagas around.
Once again you have given us a story that has me hooked from the first page to the last. The characters are so alive that I am loath to call them characters, they are people - so real
An exciting book of immensely brilliant character portrayal and a great storyline
Another cracking read with a vivid insight into family relationships
