It was just another working day in the humdrum life of master
baker, Arthur Marsden, and his family. As he mixed dough for the
morning's bread run, he had no concept of the change that was about
to be unleashed, the repercussions of which would leave no corner
of the world untouched. Set in a West Yorkshire town, this powerful
story charts the life of the Marsden family as the country
sleep-walks into a conflict that will change lives forever. Using
detailed research, award-winning author, Alan Reynolds, has
constructed a moving saga that reflects the social conditions of
the time through the eyes of a working-class family - women's
rights, industrial unrest, and a class war that teetered on the
point of revolution. A riveting narrative that will keep readers
gripped while providing a powerful insight into what life was like
in the days leading up to the First World War.
