Maggie Rowan

Maggie Rowan

This is the story of the mining folk of County Durham; a story rich in human pathos in the portrayal of the families and homes of the men who go down the pit.

There were plenty around Fellburn who said Maggie Rowan was as plain as a pikestaff, a woman consumed with jealousy at her sisterâ€™s good fortune in marrying well. But Maggie Rowan, with her dogged determination to succeed, had two raging ambitions beneath a cold and forbidding exterior: to become the mother of a child whom she could love and to escape from the life of the minerâ€™s cottage to one of the big houses on Brampton Hill.

When she marries the easy-going Chris Taggart, her marriage is planned shrewdly and without sentiment. Like her, he is considered the â€˜odd man outâ€™ and, for that reason, the only one likely to have her and who unleashes her hidden desire to be loved.
