The Mallen Secret by Rosie Goodwin
To coincide with the republication of the Mallen trilogy, Rosie Goodwin has written "The Mallen Secret" in the style of Catherine Cookson - a final instalment to one of Cookson's most enduringly popular series. They said the Mallen wickedness was depicted by the white streak in black hair. Through the generations, bad luck and misfortune has befallen each and every member of the Mallen family - and those around them. It is said that they are cursed by the dramatic white streak in their jet-black hair. As "The Mallen Secret" opens, the horror of WWI has finally come to an end. And, as with so many other families, the Mallen family has been scarred by the war: by loss, injury, and memories that are almost too terrible to bear. But even as members of the Mallen family struggle to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of WWI, secrets and lies from generations past will come to light - causing carnage of a different kind...
