Description
Child of the North: Memories of a Northern Childhood
This memoir offers a unique insight into the life of Josephine Cox, one of Britain's most beloved authors. Born in Blackburn during its decline as a cotton-weaving town, Josephine drew on her own experiences of poverty and hardship to create characters that have captivated readers with their depth and feeling.
From her childhood in a close-knit community where family was everything, to the challenges she faced as an adolescent, Josephine's story is one of resilience and determination. This is a powerful exploration of how our past experiences shape us, and how we use those experiences to create something beautiful.
