Biographie de l'auteur
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.
Quatrième de couverture
Rosie finds it hard to cope with her eldest sister's over-possessive nature. Since the death of their mother, Beatrice has been insufferably dominating, taking over the running of Pine Hurst and ruling their father and servants with an iron hand. She glories in being the mistress of the house and never dreams of leaving.
But when the girls' father dies unexpectedly, their security is threatened, and Beatrice must lay plans to protect this most prized possession.
The Obsession is one of Catherine Cookson's most unusual novels, powerfully portraying a woman dangerously driven by desire and ambition.
