Sagamore Gold (Hardcover)

In 1920s Lancashire, Adam and Mary Roberts grow up in the village of Gately beside the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, the son and daughter of a miner. But their fortunes lie far outside their small mining community in the industrial North. An astute businessman, Adam's future is on the canals and waterways; Mary, inquisitive and intellectual, will follow a path leading away from England all together. Sagamore Gold is the story of four generations of the extended Roberts family, set against the backdrop of the Second World War - and all its resulting social changes - and the increased freedoms and opportunities of the sixties.
