IF you love Catherine Cookson then you should find Nora Kay's family-based novels equally entertaining and Cuckoo in the Nest is no exception.
In it we meet Jennifer, a precocious 15-year-old with the world on her shoulders -- her mother has died and she is not the easiest teenager in the world. In walks Linda Chalmers, a college friend of Jennifer's mother, and believing she can make a difference Linda welcomes the youngster in to the family. Good intentions are all very well but Linda is soon to learn that Jennifer is a hard nut to crack. Will life ever be the same again?
It is a book that is hard to put down so give yourself plenty of time, sit back, relax and enjoy.
Cuckoo in the Nest by Nora Kay (£6.99, Coronet).
