Beyond the Vale: A North Saga

By: Greensit, Claire

Yorkshire, 1955. In the close-knit mining community of Cragside Vale, the North family are rooted in familiar streets, familiar faces - and in one another.

At No. 5 Pitghyll Row, life has always revolved around the pit, the village and family. But the world beyond the Vale is changing, and the Norths are about to face choices none of them imagined.

One man loses a part of himself, only to find his place within the community. A young woman is caught between expectation and possibility. And while some dream of horizons far beyond South Yorkshire, others cannot imagine ever calling anywhere else home.

As love, loyalty and longing pull the Norths in different directions, the decisions of one generation begin to reshape the lives of the next.

Some distances are measured in miles. Others open between the people we love.

Beyond the Vale: A North Saga is a sweeping family story of home, belonging, ambition and difficult choices, set against the changing world of a 1950s Yorkshire mining community.

For some of the Norths, the road beyond the Vale will lead halfway around the world.

For others, the hardest journey will be much closer to home.
