Some women are destined to arouse in men either fierce hatred or insatiable desire. Such a woman was Katie Mulholland. At 15, a scullery maid in the house of the Rosires, she had been raped by the master. Now, many years later, she had enough money to maintain three carriages if she wanted to and she was on her way to see Bernard Rosier under very different circumstances.

At the end of the Second World War, Matthew Wallingham returns home, blinded and uncertain about his future. Worse yet, his father is ill, and his mother is obviously unhappy, while his younger brother, who has made a success of running the farm on the family’s estate in the war years, is resentful of Matthew’s desire to help him. The only person Matthew feels he can talk to is his grandmother, but the rest of the family regards her as a holy terror.

Gravedigger John Gascoigne lives in Downfell Hurst with his wife, Florrie, their three children and his mother, Gran. John is a deep thinker but extremely taciturn - a man of few words and many grunts. Which is why everyone is alarmed when he's hit on the head by a cricket ball, and it suddenly seems as if the words won't stop. What's more, he says he is talking to Saint Christopher - only no one else can see the saint, and they're beginning to worry John's not quite right in the head.

Known for the wit of her writing, Catherine Cookson was the UK's most widely read novelist during her lifetime. When her Estate discovered this never-before-published memoir in the attic of her home, it was an astonishing find. Before I Go is the definitive story of her life, in the author's own candid words.

Dickens called David Copperfield his "favourite child," and many critics consider the novel to be one of his best depictions of childhood. Set in early Victorian England against a backdrop of great social change, Dickens acutely observed the phenomena of the Industrial Revolution and used them as the canvas on which he painted the novel. Many consider David Copperfield to be the author’s finest work.

wonderful book
it always seems to take me a little bit to transition from one book to another. I started this book several times partly because I was not concentrating on what I was hearing. I have not listened to one of her books that I haven't loved. I believe a big part of that is because of the fabulous narrator.

not one of Cookson's best
My library had alot of Cookson audiobooks back in the day when I started driving long distances and used that time to listen to books I didn't have time to read. I found Cookson's books enjoyable listening because they were usually well narrated, set in England's past which I find interesting and had interesting characters. Nothing too hard on the grey matter so perfect for passing time on the road. When I joined Audible, I hoped it would have most of her books, but it only has two and these are not her best. The Blind Miller is well read, and an o.k. listen, but I wish Audible would post her more well known novels and series.

Excellent story!!! Excellent storyteller!!!
What did you like most about The Blind Miller?
Catherine Cookson at her best. No-one can tell a story like her. Her main characters are always strong women standing alone in an era where 'MEN RULED' but never in her books!
What did you like best about this story?
How the story evolved keeping you wanting more. The strength of mind in thick and thin of the main character Sarah.
Have you listened to any of Susan Jameson’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Yes I have and this one is one of her best. She brought the book to life! She is an excellent actress who, has a Geordie, is made to narrate Catherine Cookson's books.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
A Magical Storyteller who never disappoints!
Any additional comments?
I wish more of Catherine Cookson's books were made in to listening ones. There are many people who love her books, and for one reason or another, cannot physically 'read' them and would be happy to 'read' them again. I also think there are a couple of generations who introduced to her books would quickly become addicts! So please would it be possible to bring more of her stories to Audible!

Excellent read
Brilliant bedtime read. Well, possibly not bedtime as I did, as I ended up having to read a bit more, then a bit more, and finally putting it down when I couldnt keep my eyes open any longer at two o'clock in the morning!

Another Addictive Catherine Cookson
This is probably one of my favourites & Sarah, one of my favourite characters. The story is just as dramatic as other Cookson stories, but seems more believable. Susan Jameson is a fantastic narrator. I cannot imagine anyone else reading Catherine Cookson.

SADLY DIDN'T WORK FOR ME
Would you try another book written by Catherine Cookson or narrated by Susan Jameson?
NO - I WANTED AN AUDIOBOOK FOR A BLIND FRIEND, YET THIS SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK ON HER ROYAL NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR THE BLIND CD PLAYER - A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY, VERY DISSAPPOINTED.
What will your next listen be?
ON A BETTER SYSTEM
How did the narrator detract from the book?

Not one of her best!
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Not really, it was not Catherine Cookson at her best. I listened to it all the way through but didn't really enjoy it
Did Susan Jameson do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?
I found her voice a bit grating at times and most of the men sounded slightly mad! They had an accent all of their own. I couldn't warm to any of the characters
