English Summary/英文概要: Dr Rodney Prince 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, calculating wife. And as their paths continue to cross, Rodney cannot fail to be drawn towards her.
But as an unlikely romance blossoms, the union fuels vicious gossip amongst the denizens of the Fifteen Streets. For it is a love that opposes all the concepts of Edwardian society . . .

About the Author/作者介绍: 凯瑟琳•库克森在1906年出生于凯蒂 马克穆伦(Katie McMullen),四十岁时才开始写作,但在九十多岁辞世时已写下逾90本书。她生长在泰恩河畔,周围是贫瘠的梯田,这成为她许多作品的背景。她的小说以19世纪的生活为背景,场景往往设定在采矿场、造船场、农场及附近的乡郊,描写英格兰东北部人民的爱情、悲哀、艰辛和战胜灾难的喜悦。尽管她的小说生动描写了英格兰东北部的生活,但实际上她在22岁时便已移居南部沿海城市哈士汀(Hastings)定居,直到70多岁时才重返故里。
南泰恩塞德区是极具“凯瑟琳库克森风格”的乡郊,处处可见她曾亲身经历及小说中描写的景象和场景,包括历史悠久、风景如画的维斯托村(Westoe Village),位于南希尔兹(South Shields)中心的恬静之所。她的许多作品均以此地为背景,如凯蒂穆赫兰德(Katie Mulholland)、凯特汉尼根(Kate Hannigan)及哈罗格街(Harrogate Street)。圣彼得及圣保罗(St Peter and St Paul)教堂是凯瑟琳年轻时做礼拜的地方,她的小说《鲁尼》(Rooney)对此有过描述。
滨海单车径(Coast to Coast Cycle Route)末段沿泰恩河穿过该地区北部,直达纽卡索(Newcastle)。哈德里安城墙国家步道(Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail)穿过纽卡索,沿泰恩河而行,可通往附近的乡郊。
Catherine Cookson was born in Tyne Dock, the illegitimate daughter of a poverty-stricken woman, Kate, whom she believed to be her older sister. She began work in service but eventually moved south to Hastings, where she met and married Tom Cookson, a local grammar-school master. Although she was originally acclaimed as a regional writer - her novel The Round Tower won the Winifred Holtby Award for the best regional novel of 1968 - her readership quickly spread throughout the world, and her many bestselling novels established her as one of the most popular of contemporary women novelists. After receiving an OBE in 1985, Catherine Cookson was created a Dame of the British Empire in 1993. She was appointed an Honorary Fellow of St Hilda’s College, Oxford, in 1997. For many years she lived near Newcastle upon Tyne. She died shortly before her ninety-second birthday, in June 1998.
