1872, England. Michael is a coal miner. He earns his bread by descending every day into the depths of the earth in the "Black Country," the area of coal mines in central England. But this is no life for people. Michael does everything he can, working double shifts so that his son Luke can go to school and escape this fate. Until one day, down in the mine, he discovers a vein of gold. If he can extract the gold from there, he will save both himself and his child. But Kane, with whom he works side by side in the shaft, has other plans…
A gripping novel about the peak of the Industrial Revolution and the lives sacrificed to make it happen. A powerful, striking voice that was included by the Observer in the list of the ten best new writers in Britain for 2022. The authors of the series Voices of the World are young creators whose work has already attracted attention. They come from many countries, representing different cultures and movements, but all capture the human condition with impressive clarity, and their perspective makes us see things differently.
Their voices are the voices of our world today. They say something that concerns us and they say it in an exceptional way. They are writers worth getting to know - and we are sure that we will hear them speak about them many times in the future.
