  SChant | Apr 25, 2013 |
Four stories of a family of craftsmen in rural Cheshire, from the middle of the nineteenth century to World War II. From the stonemason passing on a secret hidden deep in a cave to his daughter, to his great-grandson finding his name carved on the capstone at the top of the church steeple and beyond, the stonemasons and smiths keep the secrets of their crafts, passing them on to their successors.

Read stones, not books is the moral of this novel - suggesting filling your mind with words stops you seeing the obvious around you. ( )
