Freddie Musgrave grows up among poverty, ambition and rigid class divisions in nineteenth-century northern England. His intelligence and determination offer a possible route beyond the circumstances of his birth, but a long-hidden secret links his future to powerful families and dangerous choices. As Freddie becomes entangled in their affairs, love and loyalty are tested by deception and social expectation. Catherine Cookson creates a sweeping historical drama filled with sharply drawn characters, hardship and resilience, following a young man whose search for truth may transform his place in the world.
