The Corner House

If you like Dilly Court and Catherine Cookson, you'll love this emotional and powerful story of revenge and retribution from the Sunday Times bestselling author Ruth Hamilton.

"I believe that Ruth Hamilton is very much the successor to Catherine Cookson. Her books are plot driven, they just rip along; laughs, weeps, love, they've got the lot, and they're quality writing as well" SARAH BROADHURST, RADIO FOUR

"Probably the most moving story I have ever read" -- **** Reader review

"A fantastic read" -- ***** Reader review

*****************************************************************************

SHE'S VOWED TO TAKE REVENGE, NO MATTER WHAT THE COST...

When Bernard Walsh moves his family from Bolton to Liverpool he does not expect the past to pursue him. But Theresa Nolan, consumptive and angry, is bent on revenge and settles within three miles of Bernard's new home, wreaking havoc from the Mersey to the moorlands of Lancashire.

Meanwhile, against a backdrop of dissent and violence, two young girls, separated by fate but bound by blood, begin to wend their often troubled way towards the tranquility and comradeship of the Corner House.

What does the future hold in store?

Reviews

Very much the successor to Catherine Cookson. Her books are plot driven, they just rip along; laughs, weeps, love, they've got the lot, and they're quality writing as well

—— Sarah Broadhurst on Radio Four

Isla is the best, the funniest, the cleverest, the most enjoyable...writer in Scotland today. I can guarantee that you too would enrich your life beyond all measure by discovering Isla Dewar

—— Robin Pilcher

Dewar's extraordinary gift is to make the reader care about the eventual fate of every one of her characters

—— Scotland on Sunday

Isla Dewar is a warm-hearted and gifted storyteller

—— Catherine Ryan Hyde

A realist, observant and needle-sharp, Isla Dewar can be very funny

—— The Times

appealingly spirited...sparkiness, freshness and verve

—— Mail on Sunday

Funny, eccentric but real and readable are the hallmarks of Isla Dewar's novels and they are here in spades as we follow the WW2 life and loves of Izzy, a pilot in the Air Transport Auxiliary.

—— Love Reading

Atmospheric, heart-rending and multi-layered

—— Grazia

One of the strongest authors in this genre . . . excellent historical detail, heart-wrenching romance, and an engaging mystery
