Sagas

The rape of an innocent girl sets up a pattern of revenge and retribution.

If you like Dilly Court and Catherine Cookson, you'll love this emotional and powerful story of revenge and retribution from the Sunday Times bestselling author Ruth Hamilton.

""I believe that Ruth Hamilton is very much the successor to Catherine Cookson. Her books are plot driven, they just rip along; laughs, weeps, love, they've got the lot, and they're quality writing as well"" SARAH BROADHURST, RADIO FOUR

SHE'S VOWED TO TAKE REVENGE, NO MATTER WHAT THE COST...

When Bernard Walsh moves his family from Bolton to Liverpool he does not expect the past to pursue him. But Theresa Nolan, consumptive and angry, is bent on revenge and settles within three miles of Bernard's new home, wreaking havoc from the Mersey to the moorlands of Lancashire.

Meanwhile, against a backdrop of dissent and violence, two young girls, separated by fate but bound by blood, begin to wend their often troubled way towards the tranquility and comradeship of the Corner House.

What does the future hold in store?

Very much the successor to Catherine Cookson. Her books are plot driven, they just rip along; laughs, weeps, love, they've got the lot, and they're quality writing as well Sarah Broadhurst on Radio Four
