Tilly Trotter: An Omnibus

Rating:
Summary: A romantic saga filled with tears, joy, and drama
Review: I really enjoyed this complilation of all three of the Tilly Trotter novels. The characters are so meaty and well depicted - you really feel as if this were a true story and these these characters truly lived and breathed. From the very first chapter, I was hooked in and could not stop reading this massive tome until all three books were finished. I laughed, I cheered, and many times I cried and felt true pain for many of the characters in this book. The middle book, Tilly Trotter Weds, is real heartstring tugger - it is very emotional and powerful. I gave this a 4 stars only because the last book, Tilly Trotter Widowed, although still a very well written book, was a bit disappointing. The final book just didn't quite seem as believeable in many ways, even though it was still very enjoyable to read.

Review: If you are looking for a meaty story this is it.tilly trotter had me as captive as the other people in her story.i wanted an entertaining saga for the long hot summer and found it here catherine cookson has many twists and turns in this omnibus. you grow along tillys trials and tribulations through her life wanting to yell do this or dont do that.the mini series created for this story should have gone on.im sure cookson would have won some kind of award. i just ordered another of her books

liking the way she writes. try it you wont be sorry.
