Summary

When Kate Mitchell was offered the job of part-time secretary at Tor-Fret, a lonely old house on the Northumberland fells, she had no idea that the household was composed only of men.

Her employer, Maurice Rossiter, an embittered victim of polio, was subject to alternate fits of temper and depression. Even so, Kate found it difficult to understand his peculiar hatred of his elder brother Logan, on whose charity Maurice was obliged to depend. But when she accidentally stumbled upon Maurice with Logan's fiancée, she became aware of some of the secrets of Tor-Fret and realised she was getting too deeply involved with Logan Rossiter and the other inhabitants of this mysterious household....

Enjoyable

I love all Catherine Cookson books, but this one was a little bit slow and a little bit hard to get through, but still wonderful

Catherine Cookson comfort

Typical of this author. Comfortable familiar storyline and northern characters. Simple and predictable ending... Sometimes just what you want to read.
