Summary

1899. Josie has never questioned her life in a mining village on the South Yorkshire coalfield. But everything changes when she meets Tommy from the neighbouring village. Tommy has been destined for a life underground since the moment he was born. But he has far bigger dreams.

Josie and Tommy become fast friends, united by their desire for something better and by their fascination with the local gentry who have their keeping. Wealthy and glamorous, the Sedgewicks of Silvermoor inhabit a world that is utterly forbidden to Tommy and Josie. Yet as the new century dawns, and the pair become entangled with the grand family, they discover a long hidden secret and learn that nothing is impossible.

Engaging

It was a gentle but detailed account of life in a mining community at the turn of the century. Really enjoyed it. Nice narrations and a twee but not sickly story.

Wonderful

A well written beautiful story, equally beautifully narrated. Maybe a bit too lucky at parts but I do like a happy ending.

So Good !

I loved every minute of this book. A fabulous tale. I fell in love with the characters and I cried, I fumed and I laughed ...a rollercoaster of emotion throughout. I did not want it to end. Excellent narration.
