The Mary Ann Novels by Catherine Cookson,
This review is from: Mary Ann Omnibus 1 (Paperback)
Catherine Cookson's stories continue to be an authentic, satisfying read with an emotional punch. Although the settings for her stories revolve around the people of Tyne/Newcastle district in northern England, her stories touch the universal human experience in all of us.

Meet And Laugh With Mary Ann,
By Tara - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mary Ann Omnibus 1 (Paperback)
The first novel is so/so.. Such a young heroine takes some getting used to. She is only eight in the first three novels. Thirteen in the fourth. I found the second and third novels highly entertaining and fourth was great. Once you get use to an eight year old main character, the going is pretty good. Mary Ann deals with friends, enemies, street fights, overstrict nuns, gets her dad a job, tries to keep him from the bottle, wishes her granny dead most of the time (and one really can't blame her!), and in between bouts of "misbehaving" confesses her sins to her beloved Father Owen. If you can get your hands on this rare book, it is worth it. Much laughs.
