In this first week since ‘Broken Threads’ was released I’ve had some heartfelt responses: I appreciate them all! Here’s my great-aunt Anne, 99, when I took an early copy to her in Oldham. Thanks to her I understood my grandmother Mary’s early life and the Quinn family’s trials

Nostalgia! She’s young again. So beautiful.

@maitlis I didn’t know you had Oldham connections. I am so tired of this town being used as a political football, when the town is full of lovely people like your great aunt.

The book gave your great aunt pleasant memories and happiness. I definitely need to read it. Amazing at 99 years old.
