For Want of a Nail

📘 Clever, shy and a victim of his fantasies, Tom Graham is disturbed by his mother's harsh indifference; tortured by doubts about who his father is; confused and enraged by the ambiguous patronage of the vicar. Set amongst the wild Cumberland fells, "For Want of a Nail" takes us right inside Tom as he tries to resolve the furtive secrets around him, and arrive at some sort of truce with his background, his family... and himself.
