Publisher's description:

It is 1847, northern England, and Charles Weightman has been given the task of overseeing the flooding of the Forge Valley and evicting its lingering inhabitants. Weightman is heartily resented by these locals. However, he finds some solace in his enigmatic neighbour, Mary Latimer and a companionship develops between the two of them.
