ONE GREEN BOTTLE

by Elizabeth Coxhead ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 19, 1951

A novel of direct charm conviction, which combines the fascination of mountain climbing with the shabby, stoic finale to the story of Cathy Canning, a girl from the Liverpool slums. For Cathy, when taken climbing to North Wales for the first time, takes to it naturally and zealously, finds an escape from Tooley Street and her boy-Bill- now behind bars, and though more than aware of her social and intellectual inadequacies in a group which is more privileged, is determined to prove herself as a climber. Proceeding with pluck and tenacity from ""easy Difficults to difficult Difficults, and on beyond"", her climbing career is interrupted when she falls in love with Christopher, a schoolteacher, young and eager to overlook the barrier of their backgrounds. And it is with the cameraderie of the friends she has known, the beauty of the mountains, behind her- that she has the strength to turn away from Christopher, and back to Tooley Street and Bill, who needs her. A book which should find an appreciative audience, not necessarily a wide one, in the sincerity of its characters, the physical excitement of this, port.
