About This Item
In good condition - ex library - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.
It is the summer of 1969, Ellie Barton has spent her young life in a sprawling and dilapidated manor house with her elderly father and her memories of her dead mother. Impoverished and isolated, she has been raised to a life of duty. But Marlford, the village founded by her philanthropist grandfather, is in decay - subsidence from abandoned salt mines is threatening the buildings, the books in the memorial library are mouldering, and old loyalties and assumptions are shifting. When two radical, anti-establishment young men decide to squat in a disused wing of the house, they open Ellie's eyes to a world wider than Marlford, and Ellie begins to feel trapped beneath a newly unbearable weight of history and expectation...
