Fantastic readI have only ever been a Catherine Cookson fan, for this style of writing, and so was skeptical. For my book challenge I had to read a local author and chose Val Wood because I could see that her books are set in the local area too. I loved this! the story, the characters, the history, the twist, everything. I will certainly be reading more.Fantastic book by a favourite author the characters are wonderful the stories being set in the area i live in makes it easy to get into the places and settings in the story
very touching about the struggle s of a young strong women and her family, who eventually blossomed in to strong women in her own right. fantastic reading.
Jenny is born in Hull, a town in the north of England. When they mention oil, it's whale oil. Jenny can see at fourteen that she is going to be at home forever helping her mother rear the boys, and wants better. She sneaks off to a posh town and applies for the job of kitchen maid, the only work she knows. This leads to a string of consequences which involve young love, the jail, early motherhood, social ostracism, elevation and perhaps even love. The conventions of the day were turned on their
I loved this book read it three times and love it just as much as the first time
A fill in book for me, thought it would be another Upstairs Downstairs, Downton Abbey sort of book, which to some extent it was. Decided to read it because its set in Hull, Beverley and Driffield. Much as I expected but with a good storyline and easy to read, wont tax you though. What you read is what you get.😊
