About this audiobook
The arrival of the industrial revolution threatens the traditional hierarchy of a quiet village, forcing the Carbonel family to adapt to a world of new money and social friction. Through quiet diplomacy and a commitment to their community, they strive to maintain harmony amidst the clash of old and new. This thoughtful narrative provides a sharp look at the changing face of rural England.
