La Fille De La Rue Leam: La Vi(the Girl Of The Street Leam: Life And Writings Of Catherine Cookson )
(Piers Dudgeon)
Born in 1906 and girl from a poor woman of Tyneside -- illegitimate, nondesired, and rejected as of its birth -- Catherine Cookson lived a life marked by spite, cruelty, and the negligence. At twenty-two years, always under the effect of a disappointment of love, it left Tyneside in the search of a new life. After five years and long hours of labour in the laundry of an old people's home, it finally managed to buy a house -- good omen indicating that its escape was complete. In fact, its fight for survival hardly started. The loss of four babies, a nervous breakdown and its internment in a psychiatric hospital took it along at the edge of the suicide and to recognize the influence of the evil on its person. This remarkable book will be favorably accomodated by the thousands of readers who know Catherine Cookson through her novels -- perhaps better than they do not think it themselves. Catherine Cookson was a prolific novelist. The Black Candle, gold Straw, Obsession, and the Year of the Virgins count among its many works with success. The famous titles of Piers Dudgeon retained by the literary critic include Catherine Cookson Country (Country of Catherine Cookson), The Spirit of Britain (the Spirit of the United Kingdom) and Country Child (the Child of the Country).
