A lovely story by an author with extraordinary feeling in her writing.' -- Bangor Chronicle 'Real people and real dramas are her mainstays' -- Westmorland Gazette 'The writer clearly knows her Manchester well, especially the canals, warehouses, factories and humble shops and dwellings of the poor.

Excellent Book - Great Reading,
By Maureen (Calgary, AB) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Girl from Poor House Lane (Paperback)
This is the first book I have read from Freda Lightfoot - and it's a great book.If you like Authors like Anita Burgh, Maeve Binchy and Maureen Lee - you will love this book. Ms Lightfoot is brilliant with this book of Historical Fiction, the characters come to life - it's engrossing - she strikes that fine balance in this type of novel that can sometimes become all about the 'love story' - not here - the story is well told and solid. There is a follow up to this novel "Woman from Heartbreak House" which I have just purchased.
