A CUDDINGTON author has written a book about the hard lives of working families in Victorian Lancashire.
Sue Wilkes is the author of Narrow Windows, Narrow Lives - an account of real people during the Industrial Revolution including textile workers, canal boat families, coalminers, metal workers, navvies and glassblowers.
While Sue was writing the book she was also approached by long-established publisher Robert Hale and was offered another publishing contract.
She is now hard at work on her second book, Regency Cheshire.
Sue is a member of the Society of Authors and writes regularly for Jane Austen's Regency World as well as for the Footsteps slot in BBC History magazine. She is also a creative writing tutor specialising in non-fiction for the Writers' Bureau.
Narrow Windows, Narrow Lives is available now at online stores.
