The second book in R.F. Delderfield's Swann family saga.
Adam Swann's expanding business empire now stretches as far north as the Scottish Highlands and as far west as the Dublin Pale. Alex, his elder son, is a professional solder; George is a pioneer of the motor industry and his adopted daughter Deborah works to uncover the terrible injustices facing working-class women.
The great edifice of the British Empire is beginning to crumble, and as the gap between prosperity and poverty widens Victorian England can no longer afford to be complacent . . .
R.F. Delderfield is a born storyteller * Sunday Mirror *
His narratives belong in a tradition that goes back to John Galsworthy * Life Magazine *
