Description

This moving historical and romantic novel will transport you to the middle of the nineteenth century in Tyneside and Tynedale in northeast England.

It is a story of family life, hardship, and romance, that plays out in towns and villages along the great river Tyne: Hexham, Corbridge, Dilston, Blaydon and Winlaton.

The story begins with a housemaid, Jane, standing on Corbridge Bridge deep in the night.

She is desperate. She's pregnant, her adulterous lover has washed his hands of her and her employer and family have thrown her out.

Discover her remarkable fate and that of her unborn child.

Along the way, you will be immersed in an enthralling and historically accurate journey.

Jane's life story collides with that of one of the most important women in the whole of British history: the astonishing real-life social reformer and suffragist, Josephine Butler of Northumberland.
