There is a silence where hath been no sound.
There is a silence where no sound may be.
In the cold grave,
under the deep, deep sea.
Thomas Hood (1799 1845)
During the summer of 1831, in a market town in North East England, George Neilsen, a handsome young innkeeper, is longing for a way out of his humdrum world. He meets the enigmatic Sir Bernard Sanderson and his beautiful wife, Julia. Next day, he tells Mary Charlton, his childhood friend and confidante, of his encounter. Mary, who is secretly in love with George, teases him over his apparent infatuation with the aristocratic pair.
What follows is a tale of adventure and misadventures, doubts and truths, secrets and lies, silence and tears.
