Description

Set in Victorian Northumberland, this is the whole life story of Britain's sea rescue heroine, Grace Darling. A watchful Northumbrian family, devoted to duty in the lighthouse on the treacherous Farne Islands, finds itself at the centre of a dramatic tale of triumph and tragedy.

A vicious North Sea storm sparks a daring rescue of shipwreck survivors, spurring an unwanted rise to celebrity status. As the country grapples with industrial and social upheaval, Grace's extraordinary story unfolds, revealing ordinary people in extraordinary situations.

But who is the mysterious narrator, commenting to readers as the story unfolds? This new dramatisation brings a fresh perspective to a story, one that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
