Kate Hannigan

Dr Rodney Prince has never seen a girl look more out of place in the grime of the Fifteen Streets than Kate Hannigan. Her beauty and intelligence far outshine that of his hard, brittle, calculating wife. And as their paths continue to cross, Rodney cannot fail to be drawn towards her.

But as an unlikely romance blossoms, the union fuels vicious gossip amongst the denizens of the Fifteen Streets. For it is a love that opposes all the concepts of Edwardian society . . .

Kate Hannigan is the partly autobiographical, enthralling story of a controversial love affair, from one of the most talented storytellers of the 20th century.

Reviews

Humour, toughness, resolution and generosity are Cookson virtues . . . In the specialised world of women's popular fiction, Cookson has created her own territory

—— Helen Dunmore, The Times

Here is Ruth Rendell on such fantastic form that you'll want to stay up all night racing through to the end.

—— Val Hennessy , Daily Mail

A powerful and absorbing narrative told with elegance and subtlety

—— Daily Telegraph

Ruth Rendell is surely one of the greatest novelists presently at work in our language. The extraordinary depth and accuracy of her psychological portraits is matched only by the rare inventiveness of her storytelling

—— Scott Turow

Psychologically acute and extremely disturbing, Ruth Rendell’s work is outstanding

—— The Times

Engrossing

—— Choice Magazine
