Is Catherine Kinky?


Ron and I have recently discovered the renowned British author, Catherine Cookson, and have been enjoying some of her many novels set in the north of England. The stories are usually about people suffering hardship, and there is always a tragedy or two. You can be sure that one of the characters will be named Kate, after the woman Cookson grew up believing was her older sister, but who was actually her mother. Alas, except for the odd slap on the bottom or the threat of a "skelping", I have found nothing remotely kinky enough to blog about.

Until, that is, I finished the second book in the Mallen trilogy, and read a short description of another of her books entitled The Whip. Here is the synopsis:
Emma Molinero's dying father, a circus performer, had sent his beloved daughter to live with an unknown grandmother, not realizing that he had sentenced her to a life of misery.

But the graceful Emma, mistrusted by the local people for her beauty and her "foreign blood", nevertheless became a woman who mystified and fascinated men because of her fiery independence and her skill at performing with the whip—her father's only legacies.

That sounds rather intriguing. Perhaps she becomes a domme. Then I looked at the extensive list of Cookson novels. (I have printed them all onto a sheet of paper that I carry with me, and check the list each time I see a novel in a used book shop, so that I don't buy a duplicate.) These titles might possibly be indicators of kinky fun.
  • Slinky Jane
  • The Glass Virgin
  • The Invisible Cord
  • The Man who Cried
  • The Black Candle
  • The House of Women
  • Justice is a Woman
  • A Ruthless Need
  • The Year of the Virgins
  • The Branded Man
  • The Obsession
  • The Bondage of Love
Or maybe not. I'll have to read the stories and find out.

How interesting. I shall be on the lookout for them!

PS I carry a list of the books I have from favourite authors too, so I don't end up with duplicates also. :)

Easy question - yes, Catherine is kinky, even a bit deliciously vindictive,

I speak from personal experience. Catherine caught me eyeing her petticoats when she was dismounting her mare after a morning ride, she demanded an explanation but never even gave me a chance - she immediately lowered my pants and thrashed my bottom well into submission. When she was done, I collapsed on the ground.

She stood above me. So you like looking up a lady’s skirt, do you, she said. Well take a good look, then.

I got that good look, albeit briefly, as she lowered herself on top of me - until her bottom covered my eyes and all was dark. Somehow I knew what she wanted, rather required, next.

Catherine Cookson is one of my favourite authors. I was hooked when a friend lent me ‘Katie Mulholland’ in the early 70s. I have read and enjoyed many of her books but I think she wrote around 100, so I can’t claim to have read them all. I don’t remember reading any kinky business though! Kinky or not, I’m sure you’ll enjoy her works.

Hi Hermione,

Some definitely interesting titles! I haven't read any of her books. Sounds like Rosie has the answer.

Fondles - I'm glad I'm not the only one who needs a list :)

Rosco - Ooh, what a delicious story!

Rosie - I read Katie Mulholland recently - a good story. So no kink? Oh well, we both still enjoy the books.

Roz - Some ofthe dialect is hard to understand. She has expanded my vocabulary considerably!

Hugs,
Hermione

As a child of Northern English parents and a mother who loved to read, I grew up with this author's books in the house and have read many, many of them. Sadly, I never found anything kinky in them (trust me, I looked -lol!!) but still enjoyed her style.
