Title: Kate Hannigans Girl by Catherine Cookson ISBN: 0-7394-1520-4 Publisher: Simon Schuster Format: Hardcover |
Average Customer Rating: 3.75 (4 reviews)
Rating: 2
Summary: Silly
Comment: I have read and enjoyed several of MS Cookson's earlier books when she was alive but I found this one to be soooo silly and farfetched. The characters were flat and unbelievable. You knew Annie was going to end up with Terrence from the very first and the action in between the first page and the last page was pretty boring. Lucky me, it was a Library book

Summary: Romantic Love and Class Conflict
Comment: Set in the early twentieth century, this novel tells the story of the eldest daughter of Kate Hannigan, Annie. We first meet Annie when she is 14, growing up in a loving, prosperous family in the English countryside, but Annie is always aware of her mother's upbringing among grinding poverty, and the fact that Annie is illegitimate. Kate has since married a loving husband, Dr. Prince, but their background is never far from their thoughts.
When she is 19, Annie falls in love with the mysterious boy next door, Terence Macbane who has earned a seat at Oxford even though his family is very poor. Annie's so-called friend, Cathleen Davidson, is jealous of Annie, and tries to destroy her relationship with Terence. Annie's childhood friend Brian has long assumed that she would marry him, and his possessiveness is cloying and upsetting to Annie. Annie is also tormented and conflicted by her faith, and has vowed to become a nun, in spite of the wishes of her family.
Although the plot is full of melodrama, it works up to a successful and satisfying conclusion with love overcoming evil, and all the unpleasant characters put to rest. If you enjoy period romance novels, which I do as an occasional break from more contemporary writing, you'll enjoy Kate Hannigan's Girl.

Summary: Kate Hannigan's Girl
Comment: This book is so very "Cookson". I read at breakneck speed and and feared coming to the end. Catherine Cookson continues to force us to care for her characters and smell the grass under their feet.
