About This Book

In the early years of Elizabeth's reign, a deprived vicar establishes a small school and takes in a stranger, setting off a tale that follows a young man who undertakes a westward journey to an ancestral Grange. The narrative traces his growing unease as hopes of stately refuge give way to isolation and hinted secrets, while a cast of new friends, apparitions, confessions, voyages—including the capture of a carack—lead to betrayal, bereavement and eventual revelations. Themes of national expansion, identity, loyalty, and retribution weave through episodes of transformation, domestic tension, and final discoveries that resolve long-hidden truths.
