Reseña del editor:
The family live and work in the shadow of smouldering fires formed in the creation of alum. The life is hard, at times desperate; a landslide leaves them homeless and the King's Press Gang threatens to take their brother. This moving tale of personal courage and community strength brings the past to life with touching humanity.
Contraportada:
Women flooded out of their houses, hammering for all they were worth on kettles, buckets, pans and drums, screaming and howling at the tops of their voices. "Press-gang! Press-gang! Turn about - turn about!"
It is a stark existence for the families on Burning Mountain, whose daily business is the creation of alum crystals to fix dyes. Then the violent and merciless press-gangs appear, threatening to disrupt the community for ever. For young Ann Langtoft this marks the start of a series of thrilling and shattering experiences.
