Description
Kate Hannigan's Girl by Catherine Cookson is set in the early 1920s and follows the life of Kate Hannigan, who has built a comfortable middle-class existence with her husband Dr Rodney Prince. However, when spiteful rumours about Kate's past begin to circulate, it threatens to disrupt their happiness. As Kate's daughter Annie navigates her own path in life, she faces difficult choices between two different worlds: the secure but conventional lifestyle offered by Brian Stannard, and the uncertain prospects of Terence McBane, a brilliant mathematician from a less privileged background. Annie must find the strength and maturity to overcome the troubles that threaten to engulf her. This novel explores themes of family, identity, and social class, as Annie struggles to reconcile her own desires with the expectations of those around her.
