Nine Hundred Empty Bobbins
A Redgate Mill Chronicle of Inheritance, Debt and SilenceBy Dylan Kamerling
Length3h 26m
About this audiobook
Nora Considine reaches Ballarat four hours too late for her great-aunt Vonnie’s funeral, inheriting Redgate: creek flat, a storm-broken bluestone dye house, twelve looms beneath a failing roof, and $148,000 owed to a developer waiting for the mill to collapse. The 1889 deed requires a Considine Keeper to read the cloth with the retiring Keeper—yet Vonnie died without teaching Nora the secret. Her cousin has a solicitor’s letter; heritage rules forbid cheap repairs; and the only millwright licensed to save the roof, silent Jem Trenoweth, knows Redgate too well. As Nora spends her inheritance holding off rain and ruin, she finds a 1974 ledger recording a 116-year payment to a Cornish parish. Next morning, an eighty-eight-year-old woman arrives at the gate—after fifty years outside it—to ask one question and offer one word.
