Krátky popis
LONGLISTED FOR THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL FICTION
'Utterly absorbing, cleverly constructed and beautifully written'
The Times'Moving and exhilarating' Spectator 'Evokes the messiness
and fragility of everyday life in the nineteenth century' Daily
MailAlmost two hundred years ago, Abraham, an illiterate urchin,
scavenges on a Suffolk beach and dreams of running away to sea ...
Naomi, a seventeen-year-old seamstress, imagines a new life in the
big city ... George, a private soldier of the 50th Regiment of
Food, marries his Irish bride, Annie, in the cathedral in
Manchester and together they face married life under arms.Now these
people exist only in the bare bones of registers and census lists
but they were once real enough. Simon Mawer puts flesh on our
ancestors' bones to bring them to life and give them voice. There
is birth and death, there is love, both open and legal but also
hidden and illicit.Yet the thread that connects these disparate
figures is something that they cannot have known - the unbreakable
bond of family.
