The Mallen litter

A stunning new package for the legendary story teller. 'I'd like to bet in a few years' time his hair will be black as a sloe and very likely show the streak...He's a Mallen, if ever I saw one.' Each generation of the Mallen family has been cursed with a dramatic white streak in their jet-black hair. Barbara does not have the visible streak to identify her as a Mallen, but she has spent her life trying to forget her parentage ndash; and the horrific circumstances behind her birth. When her triplets ndash; the Mallen litter ndash; were born, she hoped that it would herald a new beginning. But it seems that one of her sons bears the Mallen streak ndash; and that the Mallen curse will never die out... The Mallen Litteris the third darkly gripping novel in one of Catherine Cookson's most compelling series, which began with The Mallen Streakand was continued in The Mallen Girl.
