Weaving timeless themes of family and friendship, love and loss, together with the universal need to respect differences and heal division, this compelling novel begins among the leafy lanes and sleepy villages of Dorset at the turn of the twentieth century.Prejudice is rife as young Patrick, from a family of travellers, sets out on a turbulent journey that takes him from service in the first world war, to forbidden love for a house-dwelling girl. How can he mend family feuds and find peace when his Aunt Rhoda has predicted many troubles ahead? After her prophesies start to come true, no one can doubt that she, as the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, undoubtedly has the gift of Second Sight! And what is the significance of the crude carving of a girl crying that keeps appearing at unforeseen moments? Does it have mystic powers over those bewitched by its spell?Based on the writings of the late Dorset author G E C Webb, this novel is wide-ranging and authentic. Strikes, the roaring twenties jazz age, the lean times of the thirties, and even faster changes through the second world war all combine to make this a gripping read.
