A dramatic historical family saga, filled with scandal and
intrigue
The year is 1916 and 20-year-old Poppy Barlow is clearing the
desk of her late father when she comes across a faded photograph of
her father with his two sisters--aunts that Poppy never knew she
had--along with their address. Poppy contacts her aunts, and is
thrilled when they invite her to stay with them in Sheffield. But
while Dale House might look grand from the outside, on closer
inspection, the place is run-down and crumbling. Poppy determines
to change all this and applies for a job at the local scythe works,
to the horror of her aunts. As Poppy learns to survive, she is
tormented by many unanswered questions. Why had her father rejected
Dale House? Why had he never mentioned his sisters or the past? And
what could have happened between her aunts and Frederick Kenton,
her new boss, that could cause them so much anguish every time his
name, or the scythe works, is mentioned?
