Wonderful Story!

Catherine Cookson at her best. Oppression and a hard-scrabble life turns ultimately to triumph for 'The Girl' in this memorable and unforgettably poignant story.

Awesome

The Girl is a book definately worth reading. The characters are very real and believable, and the heroine is absolutely charming. This book teaches us about what one lie can do to you, how it can destroy you and how one truth can make the difference.
