My Beloved Son

Catherine Cookson is one of the best writers I have ever read. Everything she writes is Great I am proud to say I own just about everything she has written, You will not be disappointed if you like to read about people struggling to survive their circumstances overcoming outrages tragedies ,I love everything she writes.MY Favorite Is FIFTEEN STREETS,The first book I read,some of her books are on DVD but they don't do the Book Justice but gives you a glimpse of it.

This is the fourth book I have read by Catherine Cookson and I just want to keep reading more. I start to read other books but find I always want to go back and read one more of Cookson's.Her books are so delightful and you soon feel you are right there with the characters. I can't put the books down once started. She is a master story teller. I love how she seems to portray people who are having struggles of some kind and how they work through them with integrity and goodness.

always love a Cookson book--Beloved Son was so great--could not put it down

I really enjoyed reading My Beloved Son very much although Mother could have been stronger with her son.She was very unrealistic.

An absoluting fantastic read! Ms Cookson is an excellent author and teller of tales. I have read at least 10 of her novels now and am solidly hooked on this lady's style of writing.

A LITTLE HARD TO GET STARTED, BUT THEN I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. THOROUGHLY ENJOYED READING MY FIRST BOOK BY CATHERINE COOKSON. I JUST STARTED HER SECOND BOOK "THE GIRL".

Cookson's unbelievable back story makes her writing all the more remarkable. Her books are always wonderful. I think I have read them all.

Very good story. Holds your interest. Not a romance novel but very satisfying to read. You care about the characters.

Well I'm not yet a quarter of the way through this but I can tell already that it's going to be another super book! I usually read in bed at night, but with these latest ones - I was able to buy a group of 4 on here - I find myself sitting reading once my housework's done as I can't wait to get at them. I'm really glad that these were found in her attic, - I think I read that somewhere - because she was a great miss as an author.

Excellent saga by Catherine Cookson about a mother's besotted love for her son that made her commit murder in order that her son to gain a high position in the house. In the process her son leaves and the saga continues....

Years ago I read and re-read every Catherine Cookson book and she was one of my favourite authors. I had not read this one however and don't remember it. It is a very dark book and a bit depressing but a good story all the same and I would recommend it.

I have been a fan of Catherine Cookson for 50 years and have collected all her books. I enjoy all her novels and consider her to be a great writer.

good read took it on holiday with me and it kept me hooked on it, couldn't put it down.
