Based in their Flowergate workshop, the Falgrave family's jet jewellery business forms the backcloth to their own story of progress and change. The story becomes one of a northern craft entering a decline, as the fashion for jet is on it's way out. The author's previous books include "West Riding".

And the Falgrave family is convinced that now is the time when the dark, intricate jewellry they make from local Whitby jet will at last come into its own. But when Abel, the driving force behind the Falgrave firm, is disabled in a cliff face accident there are many keen to wrest the advantage from the two women left in charge. And the women themselves are far from united, for mother and daughter are as different as sand from sea; tiny, indomitable Maud Falgrave, anxious to succeed in a position in which she never thought to find herself, whose lashing tongue often hides her fear of her own limitations; and her seventeen-year-old daughter Hester, who, with the help of the firm's finest jet carver, handsome Frank Clough, is determined to prove that beneath her soft artistic exterior lies a business instinct every bit as hard as the black gemstone she's always loved. *** Quantity Available: 1.
