Editorial Reviews

Review

'Meg Hutchinson's tales enthrall ... satisfying.' -- Bolton Evening News 20010601 'Her inimitable style and deftness of touch are much in evidence.' -- Teeside Evening Gazette 20010601 'A cruel yet moving saga.' -- Coventry Evening Telegraph 20010801 'Many bitter tears are shed' -- Books Magazine on BITTER SEED 20010801 'Another good book by this popular author' -- Hartlepool Mail, on A PROMISE GIVEN 20010801 'Meg fits into a tradition before television when families sat around a fire and told stories. Not epic stories but the tales of their families and friends, an oral history of a place and its people. Her place and people are Wednesbury in the West Midlands.' -- Peter Pannett, Guernsey Evening Post 20010801 'a heroine and a heart-wrenching saga of emotional strength to match any Cookson' -- Peterborough Evening Telegraph on A LOVE FORBIDDEN 20010801
