The captivating saga of a Northumbrian family... When a chance meeting in Newcastle brings television celebrity Nick Robertson and amateur genealogist Jenny Armstrong together, neither of them suspects they are about to embark on a rollercoaster journey through time in search of Nick's Northumbrian roots. As their own tumultuous love affair develops, Nick and Jenny step back into the past for a fascinating glimpse into the real lives of Nick's ancestors. A dramatic tale unfolds - of back-breaking labour and raw ambition, oppression and revolt, tragedy and romance - as generations of Robertsons struggle to survive. Over four centuries, their destinies are shaped by the turbulent forces of Northumbrian history, from civil war and religious persecution, to the grinding poverty of the Tyneside pit village. As they uncover long-forgotten family secrets and piece together fragments of the distant past, will Nick and Jenny find their own place in the mosaic of time?
