FROM THE ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF THE LAST PEARL AND DANCING AT THE
VICTORY CAFE, this is a beautiful novel about family secrets,
betrayal and redemption. Deep in the dales of the West Riding Fells
lies Scarsbeck, a remote village peopled by a close-knit community
of colourful characters: Ellie Birkett, steadfastly resisting her
mother's attempts to marry her off; Vicar Hardy, wrestling with the
temptations of the flesh; Ezra Bulstrode, village headmaster, with
an unhealthy dedication to the education of his young students; and
enigmatic woman Beth Wildman, who believes she can foresee the
future. Surrounded by wild moorland and the majestic Yorkshire
peaks, time seems to stand still in this magical corner of the
world. But change is on its way. The dales echo with fearsome
noise; construction scars the hillside: the railway is coming -
right through Scarsbeck village. And with the arrival of a huge
workforce charged with building the railway, the peaceful idyll is
shattered for ever. Praise for Leah Fleming 'I enjoyed it
enormously.It's a moving and compelling story about a lifetime's
journey in search of the truth' RACHEL HORE 'A born storyteller'
