*WINNER OF THE WRITERS’ PRIZE - BOOK OF THE YEAR*

’A profound act of witness to a long injustice, and a beautifully crafted conjuring of a life lived as truly as possibleGuardian ’Book of the Day’

’Exquisite’ Hannah Lowe
, author of The Kids

Home’s not a place, you must believe this,
but one who names you and means beloved.

In 1908, Eliza Showell, twelve years old and newly orphaned, boards a ship that will carry her from the slums of the Black Country to rural Nova Scotia. She will never return to Britain or see her family again. She is a Home Child, one of thousands of British children sent to Canada to work as indentured farm labourers and domestic servants.

In Nova Scotia, Eliza’s world becomes a place where ordinary things are transfigured into treasures - a red ribbon, the feel of a foal’s mane, the sound of her name on someone else’s lips. With nothing to call her own, the wild beauty of Cape Breton is the only solace Eliza has - until another Home Child, a boy, comes to the farm and changes everything.

Inspired by the true story of Liz Berry’s great aunt, this spellbinding novel in verse is an exquisite portrait of a girl far from home.
