Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2002

Young Philippa Cranley is living a lie. Her tyrannical father forces her to masquerade as a man in order to comply with the terms of her grandfather's will, and enable him to inherit the glassworks. Philippa is forced to become Philip, dressing in men's clothes and unable to reveal her identity to anyone. To increase her humiliation, Archer Cranley forces 'Philip' to do a stint in the glassworks. There she is befriended by Joshua Fairley, who is soon confused and tormented when he discovers his feelings for the boy are more than just pity.

Review

"1 Praise for THE JUDAS TOUCH: 'Meg Hutchinson's tales enthrall... satisfying.' - Bolton Evening News 2 'Her inimitable style and deftness of touch are much in evidence.' - Evening Gazette (Teeside) 3 'A cruel yet moving saga' - Coventry Evening Telegraph 4 Praise for NO PLACE FOR A WOMAN: 'Meg Hutchinson's storytelling skills are attracting a bigger and bigger audience.' - Newcastle Evening Chronicle 5 Praise for CHILD OF SIN: 'Hutchinson captivates by developing loveable, strong-willed characters, delving into real-life situations and resolving dilemmas along the way. Above all, this tale shows the path of life never runs smooth.' - Newcastle Journal 6 Praise for A LOVE FORBIDDEN: 'This story of love, hate and revenge will set fans' pulses racing' - Peterborough Evening Telegraph 7 Praise for A PROMISE GIVEN: '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 8 'a heroine and a heart-wrenching saga of emotional strength to match any Cookson' - Peterborough Evening Telegraph 9 'Another good book by this popular author' - Hartlepool Mail
