Book Overview: Reissued in a terrific new cover style, alongside SINNERS & SHADOWS - new in paperback. The second two novels in the trilogy, SWANSEA SUMMER and HOMECOMING, are both being reissued simultaneously. Catrin Collier has a committed readership, and her sales figures are going from strength to strength. She is without doubt one of the very best authors writing in this genre. Her Hearts of Gold series was dramatised on BBC1 and attracted over six million viewers and raised Catrin Collier's profile. The Sunday Telegraph said: 'Just in time: no sooner has the Catherine Cookson back catalogue been exhausted but a new saga queen hits the televisual cobbles'. Two more series based on Catrin Collier's novels have been commissioned by the BBC. The critics on Catrin Collier: 'This is a piece of masterful storytelling' Choice. 'Moving, heart-warming ... impossible to put down' Evening Star. 'This fabulously written novel will keep you engrossed right up until the satisfying ending' B Magazine.
