Kate Hannigan & The Long Corridor Omnibus (Catherine Cookson Ominbuses)

Description

A trilogy of stories all written by Catherine Cookson. The Long Corridor - To outsiders, Dr Paul Higgins' life appeared to be happy and contented. At thirty- six, Beth Higgins could still pass for a much younger woman, not just in looks but in the way she loved the company of people half her age. But once the surgery was closed and the curtains were drawn, the facade that Paul and Beth Higgins presented to the world concealed a welter of hate that had grown worse with the passing years... The Blind Miller - Mary Hetherington was a mother who dominated her family. She was kind, efficient and generous - providing they did what she wanted. But when her son David brought home a girl from the 'wrong' end of the fifteen streets, she soon took against her, for she quickly realised that this 'interloper' would become a challenge to her authority... Kate Hannigan - Dr Rodney Prince had never seen a girl who looked more out of place in the fifteen streets than did Kate Hannigan. She glowed with a warmth that far outshone the hard, brittle beauty of Stella, his wife, and exposed the emptiness in his heart. And so, between a wealthy man locked in an unhappy marriage and Kate, a bastard child of the slums, grew a love that opposed all the concepts of Edwardian society...
