Catherine Cookson knows how to build great characters. She dangles them before your emotions and you can't help getting involved in the story. Good read.

** spoiler alert ** Particulalry enjoyed the Harry/Lidia story, even though you could see how it would turn out. Could have done with out the husband and that thread but generally a really good read which really made you feel for Julia and many of the other characters!
