Description
It's been nearly 24 hours since the boy stepped off the ship - time that seems to move with an awful inevitability. His temporary guardian, last spotted heading for the bar, has vanished without a trace. Now, all alone in a new country, he faces an uncertain future at just nine years old.
This poignant novel tells the story of three generations of women whose lives were forever changed by the social transformations of a century marked by two world wars and mass migration to Canada and Australia. Through their tragic stories, the author brings to life the saddening tale of a young boy's journey on Liverpool docks.
