I love Catherine Cookson I would love to read all her books there is just a realism and grit to them and the heroine characters always seem to have a justified outcome like Tide of Life and The Girl etc :)

I love her books! I read them whenever I come across them. She’s one of the reasons I’m such an Anglophile

[@tashaimpressions]

The films are available if you pay I think on Prime Video.

What a gem, long may her books be appreciated. Hopefully she's immune to the woke mob.

The woke lefties will not bother the Lovely lady that was Dame Catherine Cookson . She died in 11th June 1998 sadly missed a great lady who had a hard up bringing ,
Read all her books and watched many films on Daily Motion U tube but you can buy them too .
