Marie Joseph Omnibus

by Marie Joseph

Here in a specially chosen edition are three of Marie Joseph's best-loved novels. GEMINI GIRLS: Libby and Carrie were more than sisters. Mirror images, they were different sides of the same heart, impossible to separate or divide. Until they both fell in love with Tom. FOOTSTEPS IN THE PARK: The Lancashire town was divided between the haves and the have-nots, between mill-owning Boltons and mill-working Armstrongs. But Dorothy Bolton was determined to cross the chasm and risk everything for the love of Stanley Armstrong ...MAGGIE CRAIG At the turn of the century the North of England was a harsh, bleak world - where joy and love were words in someone else's book. Strong-willed and beautiful, Maggie Craig flew in the face of that world ...and found that her passion was to cost her dearly all her life.

Marie Joseph was born in Lancashire and was educated at Blackburn High School for Girls. Before her marriage she was in the Civil Service. She now lives in Middlesex with her husband, a retired chartered Engineer, and they have two married daughters and eight grandchildren. Marie Joseph began her writing career as a short-story writer and she now uses her Northern background to enrich her bestselling novels. Down-to-earth characters bring a vivid authenticity to her stories, which were written with both humour and poignancy.
