Description
Emily Ryan's life has taken a dramatic turn since her arrival in Sheffield. She had initially been brought there by her mother's ambitions for her brother, Josh, but eventually found work as a buffer girl polishing cutlery in the city's famous trade. With the help of a friend, Nell, Emily set up her own buffing business employing those with whom she had once worked. As she built a life with her husband Thomas Trippet, known to his friends as 'Trip', the threat of unemployment loomed large during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Emily's happiness is short-lived, however, when Lucy, Nell's daughter, disappears. The past seems to be catching up with Emily and Trip, who are now partners in their family's cutlery manufacturing business alongside his half-brother. As they navigate the challenges of the economic downturn, Emily must confront the menace that has been lurking in the shadows. This novel is a heart-wrenching tale of love, loss, and resilience set against the backdrop of one of the most turbulent periods in British history.
