The Heroes of Harrand & Blythe: Secret Doors. Second Chances.
Inside a busy 1970s department store, the future can be adjusted one small decision at a time.
Harrand & Blythe has stood at the centre of Redwick High Street for generations.
Customers come for shoes, televisions, hats and furniture. Staff stay for decades. The building hums with polish, routine, and the quiet confidence of a place that has always been there.
Arthur Jennings runs the shoe department. He believes most problems can be solved with patience, attention, and knowing when to remain silent.
When seventeen-year-old Simon arrives in 1970 for what he expects to be an ordinary apprenticeship interview, he finds himself drawn into Arthur's orbit. Under Arthur's careful guidance he begins to notice that Harrand & Blythe runs on more than routine.
Behind the shop floor, hidden beneath stockrooms and corridors, an unusual force is quietly at work.
As Simon grows older and the world beyond the store begins to change, he slowly discovers the responsibility Arthur has carried for years - and the cost of stepping in at exactly the right moment.
Warm, witty, and deeply humane, The Heroes of Harrand & Blythe is a novel about unnoticed kindness, inherited responsibility, and the invisible work that keeps the world turning.
Sometimes the smallest intervention can change everything.
