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.

Desolate air,

I am normally an avid Catherine Cookson fan, but I am sorry, I really did not like this book storyline or characters. I am tall , just under six feet, not glamorous and this portrayal of a character made me feel worse about myself. I tried to persevere with the story but it just got worse. Sorry.

Disappointed

Having listened to a great number of books by Catherine Cookson I failed to enjoy this one and didn’t finish it . It was boring and tedious . The narrator is my favourite but unfortunately it didn’t help the story

Fabulous

Catherine never fails to amaze me with her work, I laugh, I cry and never want the story to end. Thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful story
