Jeannette was at school at Peel Park when I was a teacher there in the early 60´s, I remember her as an odd child with a bright yellow ribbon in her auburn hair but I never knew about her strange upbringing-- she stood out as a strange "old" child but after reading her first novel and recognising many of the places in old Accrington and the veiled allusions to teachers at Peel Park I have followed her progress and career.A strange lady but much influenced by her upbringing---- Nature or Nurture-- that is the question.
