Not having read 'The Secret Story' by Catherine Cookson, I can't name the exact main characters. However, in her works, we can often expect to find characters from different social classes. There might be a poor but determined protagonist, perhaps a young woman, who gets caught up in the events related to the secret. And there could be other characters like a wealthy family member or a local authority figure who play important roles in either hiding or revealing the secret.
Sadly, without having read 'The Secret Story', I can't accurately name the main characters. But based on Catherine Cookson's typical character archetypes, there could be a female lead who is both vulnerable and strong. She might be in a difficult situation, either due to her social status or a personal problem. There may also be male characters who are either supportive or obstructive to her journey in uncovering the secret. There could be an older character, perhaps a family elder, who holds the key to the secret and is reluctant to share it at first.
