The worlds of rich and poor collide in this gripping Victorian adventure as Jim and Jessie unravel the past and its pattern of secrets… Paisley 1876. 12-year-old Jim has escaped from the Poorhouse and now he must save his little brother from the same fate. His only hope lies in a mysterious family heirloom—a Paisley patterned shawl that has five guineas sewn into its hem—the price of freedom. Jim must find the shawl and break into the big house to steal it back. But the girl with the dark hair is always watching... ‘A tapestry of kinship, loss and compassion with poignant resonances for today.’ Robert J. Harris
