Thought provoking, twisty plot, excellent read

What an interesting, thought provoking novel this is. It was a real page turner which I read and thoroughly enjoyed over three days. Set in the forties/fifties it describes the lives of workers in the mills, the conditions they worked in and the introduction of asbestos yarn which caused such devastating illnesses and deaths to the weavers. Today the effects of breathing in asbestos dust all those years ago is still claiming lives. The characters, their interactions are very well described and the twists and turns make this novel really come alive. The main character Vincent is so believable and we see how he was led to continue the use of asbestos for what he thought were good reasons. This is not just a novel about conditions in the mills: it is a love story, a man’s struggle to improve himself, a depiction of love and kindness in a community and the effects of ambition and greed. Beautifully written too. I highly recommend it - there is something to interest anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read and refreshingly different

Loved this book. A great read. Thought provoking and whilst set in the middle of the last century, highly relevant today. Highly recommend. Looking forward to the next one from this author. Helen United Kingdom 8 September 2025
