Maggie and Jack are young newly weds, living in medieval Coventry
in 1909. They are happy and content. But long working hours
seriously undermine Jack's health and they are forced to consider
leaving their tight knit family and moving to either Australia or
Canada. They pick Australia. As the departure date looms they and
their families are obliged to consider their choices and what a
move to the far side of the world will mean for all of them. In
1911 this was like moving to the other side of the galaxy. Set in
Coventry between 1909 and 1911, the story focuses on how the family
copes and what they plan to do against the historical background of
the time.
