The Moth by Catherine Cookson | Goodreads The Moth by Catherine Cookson | Goodreads

Cookson wrote almost 100 books, which sold more than 123 million copies, her novels being translated into at least 20 languages. She also wrote books under the pseudonyms Catherine Marchant [10] and a name derived from her childhood name, Katie McMullen. [11] She remained the most borrowed author from public libraries in the UK for 17 years, [12] up until four years after her death, losing the top spot to Jacqueline Wilson only in 2002. [13] Books in film, on television and on stage [ edit ] On the wedding night, after he chases out his drunk mom’s huge drunk lower-class party full of people who don’t want to better themselves, Vanessa gives him a chaste 50s kiss that turns into a superhot 50s pulp kiss. Finally he pushes her away, overwhelmed! Woo! You go, you crazy kids and your sexual tension! The good news is that Angus has finally found an era that allows him to demonstrate his doucheness through fashion in a way his nifty 50s suits never did: pg 8 "I do not believe in the dogma of any religion of any religious denomination but, as I have said before, I believe there is a spirit comingfroms some power or source that runs through all of us. In some strange way that I do not question, I have been able to tap into that source. This is what has enabled me to say 'I can and I will'; and it is working still and helping me through this traumatic time of illness; and sometimes so strongly that one could say I have been given the power to create little miracles for myself; and for it, I am thankful."

Takođe, za povezivanje i ubrzavanje priče Ketrin se prepričavanjem služi čak i u dijalogu (...a i ti si tada rekla "to-i-to") što meni kao čitaocu "para uši". The language is common english at parts but you get used to it and it lends to the period and characters. Although the writing at times tends to go a bit purple, I found this novel to be a very compelling read. This is a story about physical and emotional abuse and, although the subject matter is tragic, it’s also a story about redemption and the underlying resilience and goodness of the human spirit. My first Cookson was 'The Whip', & it contained what I thought to be an inordinate amount of Life Suffering(tm)...however, I liked the MCs & assumed the onslaught was in homage to Victorian fiction where the poor heroine barely survives to reach her HEA. I still like 'The Whip' & remember it fondly. But I've since discovered that Cookson's copious Life Suffering style isn't making a statement about the genre -- no, it's her authorly kink. The endless pile-on of gloom, doom, & shitty life events NEVER ENDS, & I can't deal with such a thundercloud.

The Round Tower by Catherine Cookson | Goodreads

Agnes treats him with the mild contempt that has been modeled by her peers and family toward men of Robert's class. There have also been scandalous rumors spread about Robert before he arrived, and the staff treat him with skepticism in response to these rumors.

Vanessa Ratcliffe is just sixteen, daughter of one of the town's richest men. And in spite of her social standing and convent education Vanessa's provocative manner often draws envious eyes in her direction. Catherine Cookson is an icon; without her influence, I and many other authors would not have followed in her footsteps. Val Wood This is the first grown-up novel I read. My mother gave it to me when I asked her for a good book as a teen and this is the book that got me hooked to reading. Ever few years I sit down and read it again and marvel at Mrs. Cookson's talent at weaving an exceptional plot with nail-biting cliffhangers at the end of every chapter and wish I had such talent!

And of course, once Angus has sex with someone from the upper class, things start going well for him, and even though that is not quite the cause and effect the movie was going for, that’s what it looks like to the viewer, so thanks for THAT. Many of Cookson's novels have been adapted for film, radio, and the stage. The first film adaptation of her work was Jacqueline (1956), directed by Roy Ward Baker, based on her book A Grand Man.
