The Wanderers

1912. Aged 13 and banished from the farm of his childhood, Leo journeys through Devon. Behind him lies the past, and before him the West Country. But a wanderer is never alone for long, and soon Leo is taken in by gypsies... Meanwhile, life on Lottie's father's estate continues as usual, yet nothing is the same. As the great house gains a new mistress, Lottie takes refuge in nature and science. Yet she and Leo are rarely far from one another's thoughts. Charged with raw energy and gentle humour, this is a delicately wrought tale of adolescence, survival, longing and love.
