About
"As I grew to know Sally better, and as she grew up, I realised that she'd naturally become interested in social questions of every kind. She is a modern woman. And one of the biggest issues of that time - the book is set in 1881 - was the great increase in Jewish migration, following the persecutions in Russia. So that forms the background: these shiploads of suffering, exploited people drifting westwards in the hope of a better life, and all the criminal gangs making money out of swindling them, and the politicians denouncing them - why, it could be taking place today. But Sally herself, and a mystery, is at the heart of the story. Sally has a little daughter, whose father is dead; but suddenly there appears another man who claims to be Sally's estranged husband, and who seems to have all the evidence to prove it. Sally has never seen him before - but the law of the time allows him to gain custody of her child. And behind it all is the shadowy figure of the Tzaddik, who traffics in human misery ... Sally has to take a terrible risk, and finds herself face to face with an old and deadly enemy."--Author's website.
