Clitheroe Advertiser &. Times, April 29th, 2004 19 latest from Linda


AN unexpected legacy that brings with it an intriguing mystery lies at the centre of a gripping histori­ cal drama from local author Linda Sawley. She has just published her third


book, “The Key”, after writing her autobiography followed by an acclaimed debut novel. Linda’s lates t book is set in


Clitheroe and Burnley in the 1880s and many of the settings where she places her characters will be familiar to local readers. Even some of the businesses


referred to are the same, although Linda admits to just a little “poetic licence” in that some were not estab­ lished until a few years after she has them open for businessl


Her heroine is young Jenny


Mitchell, who endures harsh condi­ tions growing up in a workhouse in Clitheroe. Here again, Linda has some pangs of guilt as, according to most historic accounts, the real Clitheroe workhouse was a well-run and rela­ tively caring place. But, as she says, “workhouse” and


“caring” don’t really go togetherl As a teenager, Jenny leaves the grim


place to work as a scullery maid at a big house in nearby Burnley, but at 18 she inherits a gown shop in Clitheroe. There is a strange clause to the lega­


cy, which states that she must not enter the locked top floor of the shop. If, after three years, the business is in profit, she is promised the key, which will not only unlock the door, but the secrets to her own mysterious past.


“The Key” looks set to enhance


Linda’s reputation as a writer of his­ torical fiction, established in her first novel “A Ring in Time”. She has been writing for almost 20


years, beginning with articles for nursing publications through her job as a senior lecturer in children’s nurs­ ing at the University of Central Lan­ cashire. In 1998 she wrote her autobi­ ography, “Everyone Else’s Children”, followed by her first novel. I t started as an entry for a short story competi­ tion, but went past the word limit. Born and raised in Burnley, she


moved to Read six years ago with her husband, Jim, a gardener with Bum- ley Borough Council.-Linda is due to retire from lecturing later this year and hopes to spend more time writing. Copies of “The Key” are available


from Kaydee Bookshop, in Moor Lane, Clitheroe, and from Whalley Abbey bookshop.Priced at £6, a dona­ tion from the sale of each copy goes to Derian House Children’s Hospice and the Ribble Valley Ladies’ Luncheon Club, raising money for research into childhood cancer. Linda is a founder member of the


luncheon club and works occasional shifts at Derian House. Copies of her book are also available from LinRic Publishing, 18 Victoria Lodge, Read, Lancs, BB12 7SZ. Cheques should be payable to “LinRic Publishing” and there is no charge for post and pack­ aging. Linda will be signing copies of “The


Key” at Kaydee Bookshop on Satur­ day, May 1st, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. (CR210404/1)
