About this listen

There were plenty around Fellburn who said Maggie Rowan was as plain as a pikestaff, a woman consumed with jealousy at her sister's good fortune in marrying well.

But Maggie Rowan, with her dogged determination to succeed, had two raging ambitions beneath a cold and forbidding exterior: to become the mother of a child whom she could love and to escape from the life of the miner's cottage to one of the big houses on Brampton Hill.

When she marries the easy-going Chris Taggart, her marriage is planned shrewdly and without sentiment. Like her, he is considered the 'odd man out' and, for that reason, the only one likely to have her and who unleashes her hidden desire to be loved.

Loved the comfort of a good story based in the north with the good and bad of family life.

Another engrossing Catherine Cookson story made even better by the narrator (my favourite - Ann Dover).

Another great read from Catherine Cookson..At the beginning I thought the whole story would be about Maggie but in true Cookson style after the first chapter you found yourself being introduced too two families,the Rowans and the Taggarts and all the twists and turns with all the family members..I couldn’t put this audio book off as I was transfixed by the story..I would highly recommend this book if you like to get right inside the story as if you were part of it
