Feathers In The Fire - Softcover
A tenant farm in nineteenth century England provides the setting for this story of love, loss and redemption.
Davy Armstrong struggles hard for his place at Cock Shield Farm. He finds himself at odds with the owner, a man of mordant temper and villainous pride, whom the gods humble by sending him a son, born crippled. Davy's trials include the love of two women. One he scorns, the other, marries.
"Catherine Cookson writes with conviction about the north of England. Her novels have a powerful narrative style combining human warmth, pathos, comedy and tragedy." (Novels and Novelists)

About the Author:
Catherine Cookson was born in Tyne Dock, the illegitimate daughter of a poverty-stricken woman, Kate, whom she believed to be her older sister. She began work in service but eventually moved south to Hastings, where she met and married Tom Cookson, a local grammar-school master. Although she was originally acclaimed as a regional writer - her novel The Round Tower won the Winifred Holtby Award for the best regional novel of 1968 - her readership quickly spread throughout the world, and her many bestselling novels established her as one of the most popular of contemporary women novelists. After receiving an OBE in 1985, Catherine Cookson was created a Dame of the British Empire in 1993. She was appointed an Honorary Fellow of St Hilda's College, Oxford, in 1997. For many years she lived near Newcastle upon Tyne. She died shortly before her ninety-second birthday, in June 1998.
