| Description: |
A novel about growing up in rural Cumberland. In his childhood Tom Graham is deprived of the understanding, affection and care of his parents, and, more crucially, of the true facts about his parentage. This is the story of his adolescence and growth into adulthood. |
| Synopsis: |
Growing up in an isolated cottage in the hills of Cumberland, Tom knows the bitter cold of shooting expeditions with his grandfather and long evenings spent with his father and mother. But taken away from the hills to live in the small town of Thornton, Tom experiences a tumult of conflicting emotions which he must master before he can come to terms with his identity. |
