"Immersive paean to the North that moves through the centuries telling the stories of four disparate characters all influenced by the voice of Saint Cuthbert and the presence of his cathedral. Intense, multi-layered and linguistically rich." - @RedLionBooks

(Mini rant alert...)
After a full day of school, my 11-year-old is still up doing homework, under the threat of a detention if it isn't done. None of the work is remotely necessary.
This is how we as a society have decided to treat our children.
