Full review
Catherine Cookson's Literary skills are a force to be reckoned with. This book encompasses everything you would expect from an author who speaks of lower class degredation as if she has tasted it herself time and time again. Lizzie Gillespie is a character that draws you in, making you feel her anguish and embrace her small successes. When Lizzie is rescued from a step mother who too is too eager to sacrifice her youth and innocence, it appears that finally life is on the up. Her saviour Geoff brings her into his family home and makes her a companion of his mother before leaving for war. His memory of leaving 14 year old Lizzie is a bright willful child with a life of promise ahead of her. Upon returning from war with a back as straight as a rod yet at the same time downtrodden in heart and spirit, he is enraptured by the woman who appears before him with etheral features and inner strength of a thousand armies. With the weights of the war on his back he lashes out at Lizzie, rejecting her with cruelty that tears at your heart. Following Lizzie through childhood to womanhood you can't help but be drawn in to another mesmerising Cookson novel that shows how time and time again Catherine Cookson is a leading author whose literacy skills are a platform for every aspiring author to reach towards.
