Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Annie Gibson continues her social climb from the depths of poverty on Salem Street as she opens her own modiste salon in a fashionable section of town. As her business expands, so does her personal life. Annie survived a brutal rape and the resulting pregnancy in the first part of the trilogy, Salem Street , and her experiences have made her uncomfortable with the suitors who pop up at every turn in the second book. But it is not until a rejected suitor threatens to blacken her carefully built reputation that Annie discovers love has been waiting patiently for her. High Street is a carefully crafted glimpse into the societal strata of Victorian England and a departure from most second novels of trilogies, which are primarily filler. A solid read and the makings of an excellent saga for historical fiction collections. Melanie Duncan --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

She is one of the best writers of Lancashire sagas around.' -- Historical Novels Review 'An exciting book of immensely brilliant character portrayal and a great storyline' -- Bangor Chronicle on OUR EVA 'Another cracking read with a vivid insight into family relationships' -- Coventry Evening Telegraph on OUR EVA 'Once again you have given us a story that has me hooked from the first page to the last.

More About the Author

Anna Jacobs was born in England but emigrated to Australia thirty years ago. Now she and her husband spend part of the year in each country. She's totally addicted to writing, and produces three novels a year. If she slows down, new characters nag her till she tells their stories. And after all, dusting isn't important - story-telling is. She was first published in fiction in 1992 and as of April 2011, she has had 53 novels published, a few under other names. At the moment Anna is writing historical sagas for one UK publisher and modern novels for another, but she doesn't guarantee not to try other genres. Writing is too much fun to be limited in any way. She's been married to her own hero for many happy years, and they have two daughters and one grandson.

Anna also wrote fantasy novels as Shannah Jay, and these books have now been reiussed as Kindle books.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it as much as I loved Salem Street, August 29, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: High Street (Hardcover)
I read Salem Street three times waiting to get my hands on High Street. I can't wait to read Ridge Hill. Anna Jacobs brings her characters to life and you laugh, cry, and worry right along with Annie Gibson.

4.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book!, January 9, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: High Street (Hardcover)
This book was great...better than Salem Street. Annie's character comes alive and you feel her pain and triumps right along with her. Easy reading with a little, classic romance. I hope to find the next in the series, Ridge Hill.

5.0 out of 5 stars Salem Street, January 4, 2005
By 
SarahJean "Sarah" (Menifee, Ca. 92584) - See all my reviews
This review is from: High Street (Hardcover)
"Salem Street is Book One of the Gibson Family Saga, a five part saga, set in the nineteenth century in industrial Lancashire, UK. Each book is complete in itself, but follows the lives of the same family.", from Anna's web sight http://www.annajacobs.com. So, this is a five part Saga, not a trilogy! I loved the first three books but can not get the last two. I guess US citizens will have to buy from the UK!
