I thoroughly enjoyed that! I'll admit that I'd tried reading Catherine Cookson many years ago but had found it pretty tough going. I can't fathom that now because it was the easiest of reads, and completely absorbing. Between the two efforts, I managed to watch all the Catherine Cookson films many, many times and am sure that it prepped me for her novels. One of my earliest adult Catherine Cookson novels that I read as part of my reading recommended list for O level history to study the social conditions of the ordinary person and economic history of England in the 18th/19th century. I then continued to read and enjoy the remainder of her novels up to and including her last novel. Previous to this I had been introduced via my school library book club at age 13 to her earlier novels under the pseudonym of Catherine Marchant and of course her childrens novels. The show's strength lies in its ability to portray the dynamics between different social classes and the struggles of women in the 19th century. It also delves into the themes of love, betrayal, and the harsh realities of life in the industrial revolution.The Tides of Life is about the choices we make in life. Choices that require navigating those changing tides and winds of life as we pursue the right choice and avoid those that will result in harm or failure. For the leader there is often only one choice to make, to lead or mislead. Dame Catherine Ann Cookson, DBE ( née McMullen; 20 June 1906 – 11 June 1998) was a British writer. She is in the top 20 of the most widely read British novelists, with sales topping 100 million, while she retained a relatively low profile in the world of celebrity writers. Her books were inspired by her deprived youth in South Shields (historically part of County Durham), North East England, the setting for her novels. With 104 titles written in her own name or two other pen names, she is one of the most prolific British novelists. Instead of flowing with the tides of easy and difficult, joyous and sorrowful, it is as if we decided that the tide coming in is good and the tide going out is bad, and we completely ignore the fact that it wouldn’t work if the tide always came in – the land would flood, crops would die, and we’d have wet feet all the time! We fail to see that after the tide goes out, it gathers up wonderful gifts from the sea, like beautiful shells, water-carved logs, rich communities of seaweed, and on its return, it deposits them on the shore. The same is true with your life. At this point, the urban-squalor drama gives way to what, in Cooksonland, must pass for Gothic mystery, as we meet the farm-dwellers who will make Emily’s life a nightmare for the next ninety minutes. ROLL CALL!

Cookson received the Freedom of the Borough of South Tyneside, and an honorary degree from the University of Newcastle.

Sold! Fistfights: Hell yes. Also, murder, pistol-whipping, chasing someone into the ocean, and lighting a houseful of stuff on fire. I am a local lad from the area of main scenes of Seaburn. There is a sense that the writer has done very well the homework here mind and is tell tale of the time we're living in today. I certainly would look round for this type of lass.Catherine Cookson's The Tide of Life is a captivating drama series set in the 19th century that premiered on BritBox. The story follows the life of Emily Kennedy (played by Daniela Denby-Ashe), a strong-willed woman who faces numerous challenges to achieve her dreams in a world that is dominated by men. Please note that Catherine Cookson has basically two romantic set-ups: When You Were Nine and Decent Guy. The first one is self-explanatory. The second one, evidenced here, is where the heroine meets a series of dudes and ends up marrying the one who is still alive, not already married, and/or least loathsome. It’s awesome.) In 1983 Katie Mulholland was adapted into a stage musical by composer Eric Boswell and writer-director Ken Hill. Cookson attended the première. [16]
