A superb review for Pearl of Pit Lane in the Peterborough Evening Telegraph. Thank you!
Mind you, it always makes me nervous when a review mentions the 'C' word - Catherine Cookson. Big shoes to fill and I don't intend to try.
I've only ever read one Catherine Cookson book in my life too, so I know the comparison can't be because I'm trying to write like one of the highest selling authors in the world. It comes, I feel, from writing about a pit village in the northeast and staying true to the dialogue, using the word 'mam' and never 'mum' and simply telling it as it is.
