Thought provoking, twisty plot, excellent read

What an interesting, thought provoking novel this is. It was a real page turner which I read and thoroughly enjoyed over three days. Set in the forties/fifties it describes the lives of workers in the mills, the conditions they worked in and the introduction of asbestos yarn which caused such devastating illnesses and deaths to the weavers. Today the effects of breathing in asbestos dust all those years ago is still claiming lives. The characters, their interactions are very well described and the twists and turns make this novel really come alive. The main character Vincent is so believable. This is not just a novel about conditions in the mills: it is a love story, a man’s struggle to improve himself, a depiction of love and kindness in a community and the effects of ambition and greed. Beautifully written too. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read and refreshingly different

Loved this book. A great read. Thought provoking and whilst set in the middle of the last century, highly relevant today. Highly recommend. Looking forward to the next one from this author. Helen United Kingdom 8 September 2025

A really great read.

Very Pat Barker (or Sally Wainwright) - involving, moving and original with a strong setting in the story of the North. Very filmable. Jackie UK 30 September 2025
