Signs for Lost Children

From the author of Night Waking, a powerful enquiry into the workings of the human mind and heart, set in the 1880s between Japan and England. Only weeks into their marriage a young couple embark on a six-month period of separation. Tom Cavendish goes to Japan to build lighthouses and his wife Ally, stays and works at the Truro asylum. With her unique blend of emotional insight and intellectual profundity, SIGNS FOR LOST CHILDREN is an exquisite continuation of the story of Bodies of Light.
