A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

‘It’s coming up to twenty-four hours since the boy stepped down from the big passenger liner – it must be, he reckons foggily – because morning has come around once more with the awful irrevocability of time destined to lead nowhere in this worrying new situation. His temporary minder on board – last spotted heading for the bar some while before the lumbering process of docking got underway – seems to have vanished for good. Where does that leave him now? All on his own in a new country: that’s where it leaves him. He is just nine years old.’ An eloquently written novel tracing the social transformations of a century where possibilities were opened up by two world wars that saw millions of men move around the world to fight, and mass migration to the new worlds of Canada and Australia by tens of thousands of people looking for a better life. Through the eyes of three generations of women, the tragic life story of the nine year old boy on Liverpool docks is brought to life in saddeningly evocative prose.
