"1 Praise for THE JUDAS TOUCH: 'Meg Hutchinson's tales enthrall... satisfying.' - Bolton Evening News 2 'Her inimitable style and deftness of touch are much in evidence.' - Evening Gazette (Teeside) 3 'A cruel yet moving saga' - Coventry Evening Telegraph 4 Praise for NO PLACE FOR A WOMAN: 'Meg Hutchinson's storytelling skills are attracting a bigger and bigger audience.' - Newcastle Evening Chronicle 5 Praise for CHILD OF SIN: 'Hutchinson captivates by developing loveable, strong-willed characters, delving into real-life situations and resolving dilemmas along the way. Above all, this tale shows the path of life never runs smooth.' - Newcastle Journal 6 Praise for A LOVE FORBIDDEN: 'This story of love, hate and revenge will set fans' pulses racing' - Peterborough Evening Telegraph 7 Praise for A PROMISE GIVEN: 'Meg fits into a tradition before television when families sat around a fire and told stories. Not epic stories but the tales of their families and friends, an oral history of a place and its people. Her place and people are Wednesbury in the West Midlands.' - Peter Pannett, Guernsey Evening Post 8 'a heroine and a heart-wrenching saga of emotional strength to match any Cookson' - Peterborough Evening Telegraph 9 'Another good book by this popular author' - Hartlepool Mail
