About the Book

Rosie finds it hard to cope with her eldest sister's over-possessive nature. Since the death of their mother, Beatrice has been insufferably dominating, taking over the running of the house and ruling their father and servants with an iron hand. She glories in being the mistress at Pine Hurst and never dreams of leaving. But when the girls' father dies unexpectedly their security is threatened, and Beatrice must lay plans to protect this most prized possession.

About the Author :
Catherine Cookson was born in Tyne Dock, the illegitimate daughter of a poverty-stricken woman, Kate, whom she believed to be her older sister. She began work in service but eventually moved south to Hastings, where she met and married Tom Cookson, a local grammar-school master. Although she was originally acclaimed as a regional writer – her novel The Round Tower won the Winifred Holtby Award for the best regional novel of 1968 – her readership quickly spread throughout the world, and her she became the United Kingdom's most widely read novelist, with sales topping 100 million, while retaining a relatively low profile in the world of celebrity writers. After receiving an OBE in 1985, Catherine Cookson was created a Dame of the British Empire in 1993. She was appointed an Honorary Fellow of St Hilda's College, Oxford, in 1997. Catherine Cookson died at the age of 91 at her home in Newcastle, although her novels, many written from her sickbed, continued to be published posthumously until 2002. Susan Jameson is an English actress who is best known for her television work. Her roles include Myra Booth in Coronation Street, Kate in Take Three Girls and Jessie Seaton in When the Boat Comes In. She played Emma Lambe in the third series of All in Good Faith, and John Duttine's second wife in the BBC drama To Serve Them All My Days. She also starred in a children's comedy series, Bad Boyes, in which she played the eponymous lead character's mother. In 2009, she was one of five actresses to portray Queen Elizabeth II in Channel 4's series The Queen. Jameson is also known as an audiobook narrator, especially of Catherine Cookson novels.

Review :
'Humour, toughness, resolution and generosity are Cookson virtues ... In the specialised world of women's popular fiction, Cookson has created her own territory.'
