Had to listen to all the tapes ASAP April 25, 2004
Normally I only like the abridged versions of books in an audiobook due tothe shortage of listening time . Whilst this is the 4th Josephine Coxaudiobook I've heard , I was compelled to finish the entire set spanning10 hours in 3 days as I was so caught up in the story .This was a betterstory than the previous unabridged " Tomorrow the World " also byJosephine Cox that I had listened to last week .The excellent narration ofCarole Boyd was also a determining factor in my enjoyment of this & theother 3 Josephine Cox audiobooks .

Just finished , excellent book , easy reading. March 18, 2001

I found this book very easy to read because its storyline was quite believable and I was unable to put it down. The author described the time and the people so easily that you felt like you knew them. The storyline described life as you would imagine at the time. Another excellent book for your collection.

Pleasant but familiar. Easy reading drama. December 17, 1999
Like settling down with friends, this book is familiar and easy company. The drawback is the familiarity of the characters and the repeat of situations from - to name one - "Outcast". Pleasant but no surprises instore.

Pleasant but very unoriginal. December 17, 1999
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This was only my second Jo Cox novel, but I noticed characters and situations identical to my first - "OUTCAST". The characterisations, whilst good, are instantly familiar. It is easy to read and requires no effort on the readers part, as it's easy to go along with. There are no surprises, but a cosy feeling that you're among old friends. Pleasant but very unoriginal.

Dreary and derivative October 24, 1999
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is Josephine Cox's seven millionth book and it shows. The storyline feels familiar from the outset and there is no characterisation beyond what the plot demands, it's almost cynically aimed at the lowest common denominator. Several times in this story I felt that characters were completely transformed just to suit the latest plot twist. To compare Josephine Cox with Catherine Cookson is miles wide of the mark. In a genre where there are many, better writers (Lyn Andrews for one), it's hard to believe that such formulaic stuff sells in such huge quantities. Saga and romance readers deserve better!
