Return to Jarrow (Jarrow Trilogy)
'Her finest yet - a wonderfully moving, deeply emotional tale'  The Daily Record 'If anyone can claim to be the new Catherine Cookson then it must surely be Janet MacLeod Trotter. Her new powerful saga of a restless, rebellious working-class girl is inspired by Cookson's early life. And her writing, like Cookson's, can inspire laughter and bring a tear. This is a story to burn itself into your mind.'  Northern Echo 'Penmanship of the highest quality ... This is a story of warmth and despair, based on facts and places and with excellent characterisation. It is a delicate yet strongly-woven book of biography and imagination. Rich in narrative, which twists and turns on every page. It touches many raw nerves of human experience. It should satisfy both the Cookson addict and those lovers of a good story.'  The Newcastle Journal 'It is powerfully and skilfully written, and keeps you interested until the end.'  The Sunderland Echo
