Longlisted for the Booker Prize in 2002
After the upheavals of the Second World War, the Richardson family – Sam, Ellen and their young son Joe – settle back to working-class life in the Cumbrian town of Wigton. Yet for them, as for so many, life will never be the same again. As the old order begins to be challenged and new vistas open, Sam and Ellen forge their future together with differing needs and desires – and conflicting expectations of Joe, who grows up with his own demons to confront.
