Trade ReviewPraise for Rita Bradshaw: 'Catherine Cookson fans will enjoy discovering a new author who writes in a similar vein * Home and Family *
If you like gritty, rags-to-riches Northern sagas, you'll enjoy this * Family Circle *
What an emotional rollercoaster ride of a book! It grabs your attention from page one and does not let go until the end * Sunderland Echo *
Displaying an uncanny ability to spin a good yarn * Sunderland Echo *
All published writers have skill and creativity, but a few have more. It's called magic. I'm beginning to believe Bradshaw has it! * Historical Novels Review *
