This is the first novel by Catherine Cookson and was first published in 1950. Rodney Prince, a doctor who chose to work amongst the poor of Newcastle to the shame of his beautiful wife, has never seen a girl look more out of place in the grime of the Fifteen Streets than Kate Hannigan. Her beauty and intelligence far outshine that of his hard, brittle and calculating wife. As their paths continue to cross, Rodney cannot fail to be drawn towards her.
But as an unlikely romance blossoms, their controversial love affair fuels vicious gossip amongst the denizens of the Fifteen Streets. For it is a love that opposes all the concepts of Edwardian society, but ultimately, despite their many trials, their story is one of success and joy. Deeply emotional and powerfully told, Kate Hannigan is the enthralling story of an off-spring of the Tyneside slums and her quest for a better life and happiness for herself and her child.
