The Mallen Litter by Catherine Cookson
'I'd like to bet in a few years' time his hair will be black as a sloe and very likely show the streak!He's a Mallen, if ever I saw one.' Each generation of the Mallen family has been cursed with a dramatic white streak in their jet-black hair. Barbara does not have the visible streak to identify her as a Mallen, but she has spent her life trying to forget her parentage -- and the horrific circumstances behind her birth. When her triplets -- the Mallen litter -- were born, she hoped that it would herald a new beginning. But it seems that one of her sons bears the Mallen streak -- and that the Mallen curse will never die out!
'The most celebrated novelist of our time' -- The Times
Dame Catherine Cookson began writing novels when she was forty and has had nearly one hundred books published. In her twenties she moved south to Hastings where, after the tragic loss of four babies and a mental breakdown, she began to use her experiences in the North East as the inspiration for novels which have sold over one hundred million copies around the world. In 1976 she returned to Northumberland with her husband Tom and continued to write almost up to her death in 1998.
