According to the publishers this rich and spellbinding novel covers threegenerations of English life from the 1860s up to the turbulent days of WorldWar II. They forgot to add that its a suspense novel. The question twothirds of the way through is what can possibly happen next. At this pointheroine Katie who had started life as a scullery maid was raped by the youngmaster at fifteen became pregnant was married off to a sadist. Her father washanged for killing said sadist mother was driven insane. Katie herselfimprisoned falsely for prostitution is confronted by her old seducer Bernardwho has deliberately married off his son to their Bernards and Katiesdaughter. We forgot to mention that there have also been scenes with Katiesglandular idiot sister and scenes with Bernards lesbian sister who is in lovewith Katie and scenes with a Swedish sea captain who also loves Katie butnaturally cant marry her because hes already married etc. etc. Now whatcould possibly happen next? Lots. Lo and even unto the third generation. WithKatie weeping in every other chapter. Its splendiferous pulp the kind thatyou just cant put down. And the prose is as plump as Miss Cooksonsimagination. She may be Englands answer to Harold Robbins. Kirkus Reviews «
