As a ten-year-old, Gilbert Sparks watched his mother die... Now, eleven years on, he still blames himself. It's 1891 in the northwest of England.

Clinging to memories of his mother, will he choose to face his demons alone? Or will he draw on the passion and strength of newfound friends? Take a seat, curl up and immerse yourself in a tale from another time, another place.
