Overview

Born in 1906, the illegitimate daughter of a servant, she was brought up in the slums of Tyneside. Her childhood was marred by violence, abuse, alcoholism and shame. But, determined to escape her situation, Catherine made her way out of the poverty trap by "writing it all out." Her novels became a new genre and her legendary success is contrasted here with a fuller, darker picture of her life.
