Like a great sponge I?d taken it all in: the character of the people; the fact that work was their life?s blood; their patience in the face of poverty; their perseverance that gave them the will to hang on ; their bigotry, for there were those who couldn?t see beyond the confine of the country? And the women. Stoics would be a better name to give the females of that time, my early time, because for most of them along those river banks it was grind in one way or another from Monday morning to Sunday night.? Grim though her early life undoubtedly was, it aroused such strong feelings and deep emotions in her that she fed off them for her ideas and characters for the rest of her life. And in the company of her best-loved fictional creations she writes passionately about Tyneside and its people who meant so much to her.* A NEAR FINE copy of the 1st/1st fnl, revised.
