Full Description
England, 1926. When Lady Isobel Farrar returns home to her beloved Halcyon Hill, after years of living abroad, she finds herself dwelling on a long-buried secret.
There had been a child, the result of a violent attack, whose birth was hushed up and who was given up for adoption. Now, after all these years, after travelling the world in the hope of forgetting, Isobel can't help but wonder what became of him.
Frank Brodie has lived a harsh life. He was cruelly mistreated by his adoptive parents, before the Great War took him away to the trenches. Now he must live on his wits, but there is something burning inside him - a yearning to understand his past.
A moving tale of love, loss and family from Walter Scott Award Recommended Alan Robert Clark.
