I love all of Catherine Cookson's books
By CH
I love all of Catherine Cookson's books, and read many of them years ago. After reading Fifteen Streets, I'm going to continue and read all of those that I haven't. Great book.

There is some fine writing and story telling in this one.
By D. Blankenship
Catherine Cookson is the author of about 100 novels and has become one of the best selling author of this historical romance or historic novel genre. (Cookson actually hated it when her works were referred to as "Romance Novels" and insisted that they were "Historical Novels," a feeling in which I agree with the author). This particular work, The Fifteen Streets was first published in 1952 and is one of her first novel (If I am not mistaken it is her second or third). It was made into a very successful T.V. movie in later years and actually was nominated for an Emmy despite mixed reviews. Mixed or not, the public loved it and loved the novel that the movie was based upon.
This novel takes place in England during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Like Dickens, Cookson boldly examined the plight of the English poor, class distinctions and religious differences and that indeed is what this work is all about. A lower class dock worker falls in love with a girl of a higher class (rich) and of a different religion (Protestant) where as he and his family and his neighborhood are Catholic.
Few authors are able to capture the hopeless poverty, ridged distinctions between classes and religious bigotry and hatred that prevailed in urban England during the time this story took place. I will not tell you that this is one of those happy ever after books - a feel good book - no far from it. It is a work filled with a cutting realism that made me, the reader, set up and take notice.
A love story here? Yes, most certainly but one laced with an almost hopelessness, much as the lives of millions led and still led - truth be told. This work is also a good lesson as to one often times is better off not getting what they wish for.
Note that I am giving this one five stars. This is not Cookson's best work by far but for an almost first novel it is difficult to find much better in this particular genre. I am not a constant reader of this author but my wife is and has read the vast majority of her novels. Ever so often she talks me into reading one of the m which was the case here. I am glad I listened to her.
The only objection I have to this book is this particular publications book cover. The thing looks like a toned down bodice buster...that is NOT what this book is.

strong historical relationship drama
By A Customer
THE FIFTEEN STREETS are slums filled with abject poverty that usually leads to its residents giving up on the future as the hard work destroys the dreams and hopes for something better if not for themselves at least for their offsprings. A drunk sired John O'Brien, yet the lad once believed that hard work was the avenue out. However, his toil on the docks has left him with deep doubts and the realization that the odds are he will end up just like his dad.
Upon meets his younger sister's teacher Mary Llewellyn, John renews his belief he will make something of himself because now he has the impetus to become a better person. Mary comes from a higher class than John yet prefers working with the children of the FIFTEEN STREETS in the belief that education is the ticket out of destitution. As John and Mary fall in love, the pressure increases to end this forbidden relationship that binds two people from opposite sides of the tracks.
Although the class differences blocking a relationship seem antiquated, this reprint of a classic Catherine Cookson book stands the test of time due to the ageless themes that survival and intelligence is inadequate without love, passion, and hope. The descriptions of the FIFTEEN STREETS neighborhood are sadly realistically horrifying then and now yet brilliantly interwoven into a powerful plot. Fans will admire Mary and root for John to overcome the impossible, which is why the deceased Ms. Cookson remains a favorite.
