Inhaltsangabe
In the title story a disillusioned businessman on impulse decides to call on an office colleague he has always slightly despised, and finds himself having to re-evaluate his own relationships in the light of what he finds. In three stories that make up The Forbidden Word Catherine Cookson traces the changes in attitudes to marriage and pregnancy that have taken place in the last seventy years. In other stories a shy batchelor begins to make friends among the people who like himself have taken refuge from the Blitz in the London Underground, and a much put-upon young woman makes up her own mind for the first time in her life to escape from domestic exploitation. These and other stories in this new collection have all the qualities that those who have enjoyed Catherine Cookson's earlier books have grown to expect, and will also introduce them to a whole new gallery of real-life characters.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
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 best-selling 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.
