This powerful story is a tale of the gritty, hard working North
East of England, in the first years of the twentieth century, when
life had never been harder. Set among the dockers and workers of
the close-knit Irish community, this is a novel of hard times and
violence, but also of the powerful bonds of family and a strong
Catholic faith that can unite the group against a rough and hostile
world. Using the theme of Tom Casey, who is imprisoned for a rape
he did not commit, and a campaigning young solicitor determined to
see him freed, this is a panoramic picture of a tough, warm hearted
and sometimes brutal world of the past that is today but a distant
memory - but one that should never be forgotten.
