Product Description
From Booklist
Annie Gibson continues her social climb from the depths of poverty on Salem Street as she opens her own modiste salon in a fashionable section of town. As her business expands, so does her personal life. Annie survived a brutal rape and the resulting pregnancy in the first part of the trilogy, Salem Street , and her experiences have made her uncomfortable with the suitors who pop up at every turn in the second book. But it is not until a rejected suitor threatens to blacken her carefully built reputation that Annie discovers love has been waiting patiently for her. High Street is a carefully crafted glimpse into the societal strata of Victorian England and a departure from most second novels of trilogies, which are primarily filler. A solid read and the makings of an excellent saga for historical fiction collections. Melanie Duncan
Review
Praise for Anna Jacobs: 'Catherine Cookson fans will cheer!' -- Peterborough Evening Telegraph 'Anna Jacobs' books are deservedly popular. She is one of the best writers of Lancashire sagas around.' -- Historical Novels Review 'An exciting book of immensely brilliant character portrayal and a great storyline' -- Bangor Chronicle on OUR EVA 'Another cracking read with a vivid insight into family relationships' -- Coventry Evening Telegraph on OUR EVA 'Once again you have given us a story that has me hooked from the first page to the last. The characters are so alive that I am loath to call them characters, they are people - so real that you almost feel for them' -- Reader from Scotland on OUR MARY ANN

I loved this book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: High Street (Hardcover)
This book was great...better than Salem Street. Annie's character comes alive and you feel her pain and triumps right along with her. Easy reading with a little, classic romance. I hope to find the next in the series, Ridge Hill.

I loved it as much as I loved Salem Street,
By A Customer
This review is from: High Street (Hardcover)
I read Salem Street three times waiting to get my hands on High Street. I can't wait to read Ridge Hill. Anna Jacobs brings her characters to life and you laugh, cry, and worry right along with Annie Gibson.
