Summary
Roddy Greenbank was brought by his father to the remote Northumberland community of Langley in the autumn of 1807. Within hours of their arrival, however, the father meets a violent death and the boy is left with all memory of his past life gone. Adopted and raised by old Kate Makepeace, Roddy found his closest companions in Hal Roystan and Mary Ellen Lee.
These three stand at the heart of a richly eventful narrative that spans the first half of the 19th century, their lives lastingly intertwined by the inexorable demands of a strange and somewhat cruel destiny.

I didn't want this book to end
I have never been so involved with a book. Every twist and turn of the saga led me further in. The length of the book was magnificent. Such a delight to hear Anne Dover (my favourites narrator) telling this clever and beautiful story. Bravo Catherine Cookson. A favourite listen for sure
Listening to this book gave me the chance to think of my darling Mum who often would encourage me to read the books by CC , I was reading this book with my Mum in mind the whole time. Such a moving and wonderful feeling to be back with her again

Loved it!
I have been hoping for this book to be included in Audible for quite some time...l read it as a very young adult but it was one of my lovely Mumma's favourites.
Listening to it was like sitting and holding my Mum's hand...beautiful memories and a lovely well rounded story. Thank you so much.
