Synopsis

"A cinematic treat of a novel"

"Reads like a feature film"


Spennymoor, 1913. A boy from a coal-mining town sees a moving picture for the first time – and glimpses a life beyond his reach.


Jem Poole grows up in hardship, shaped by loss and class division. But from that first flicker of light, he is determined to build something more.

As war and social upheaval reshape Britain, Jem finds his way into the emerging world of cinema – and success opens doors once closed to him.

But ambition comes at a cost.

The higher he climbs, the more he risks losing. And the past is not done with him yet.

Perfect for readers who enjoy

  • Character-led historical fiction with strong emotional stakes

  • Stories of reinvention and buried pasts

  • Early twentieth-century Britain and the rise of cinema


Readers of Amor Towles, Anthony Doerr and Kate Atkinson will find the same emotional depth, rich historical detail, and a story that keeps the pages turning.

Book One of The Poole Legacy
