Review The Silent Lady: Complete & Unabridged (Soundings) / Soundings:A considerable number of her dedicated readers were saddened by the news of Catherine Cookson's death-not just for the loss of a much-loved woman, but also for the stilling of one of the most distinctive and reliable voices in fiction. Therefore the news that there were nine posthumous novels with her publisher was received with much pleasure. And rather than being evidence of the author winding down, they have shown that Cookson was ever refining her characterisation and the consummate plotting for which she was so noted. The Silent Lady has all of her characteristic touches, most notably a heroine at odds with herself and those around her. At a distinguished firm of London solicitors, a female vagrant who appears to have been sleeping on the streets, presents herself. With her filthy clothes and inability to speak, it's no surprise that she is initially shown the door, until the firm's senior partner, Alexander Armstrong, learns the name of his visitor. Irene Baindor is a woman with a remarkable past and her reappearance is the signal for the ending of a mystery several decades old. Irene (the eponymous "Silent Lady") has encountered benefactors who have helped her to rebuild her life. And now she is able to come to terms with a brutal, disturbed past and attain happiness with both old and new friends. As with all later Cookson books, it is difficult to predict the course that her constantly surprising narrative will take-clearly, the author had decided to retire some well-worn formats and strike out in entirely new directions. [+]Although the customary romantic elements are well in evidence here, this is essentially a mystery in which the reader is swept through an intriguing narrative that moves from darkness into light. Irene represents something new in Cookson heroines, and her presence renders this one of the author's most thoughtful and affecting narratives. -Barry Forshaw.

Review Clare's War / ISIS Audio Books:Clare Springer is 17 years old in 1938 and estranged from her family when she is sent to Paris to finish her education. But Clare is having too good a time to bury her head in books, and barely heeds that the nightmare of war is around the corner. After France is occupied by the Nazis, she finds herself trapped, but learns to get along-until her French lover Fabien goes missing. Although she tries not to become involved in the political situation, she finds it more and more impossible to avoid being caught in the growing menace and danger around her. Anita Burgh's Clare's War maintains the high standard of all her books. The strong and powerfully realised sense of how France felt under Nazi rule is what gives this tale of a young woman's struggle its solid emotional impact. In earlier books such as Distinctions of Class, Burgh showed herself to be a writer who has that rare gift: an absolute and steely grasp of human character. As Clare develops from a frivolous young girl to a responsible woman coming to terms with love, the reader is drawn inexorably into a narrative that never loses its grip. -Barry Forshaw.
