A gripping family saga set in Northumberland, Whitby and London in the years 1745-90. The novel brings to life the early industrial history of North East England in the Age of Sail.
Katharine Tiernan is a Northumbrian by birth and spent many childhood afternoons on the shores of Lindisfarne. She studied English Literature at York University and worked as a teacher and community artist. By the turn of the millennium, both Katharine and her Australian husband were hankering for the wide-open spaces of the north and moved back to Northumberland. Her novels reflect her interests in literature, spirituality and the inspirational landscapes of the north.
