NOTES
It is England in the close of 1848, and the citizens of Victorian York are under a terrible, unforgiving siege: a bitter, crushing winter of near-biblical proportions. One that causes mayhem and misery, to a struggling populace, at war with itself. Through these trials, a secret social elite quietly ruin an old family-firm. Capus Munion is the hard-working clerk; that does his best for the remaining family, whilst nobody knows his very dark secret....An atmospheric and intriguing work of historical fiction, with a powerful Dickensian presence. Witty, complex and full of original sin! [New edition: with corrected manuscript, completed Dec 2015]
