Notes:
Nuneaton, 1850. Growing up on a canal boat has meant life for young Saffie Doyle has been hard. Her mother, Olivia, was cast out by her family when she fell in love with Saffie's father, a lowly boatman named Reuben. But as the years passed, Reuben has become a bitter and cruel drunk, forced to work for local crook Seth Black. Saffie dreamed of becoming a teacher, despite her father's insistence that she had no need to read and write. Keen to nurture her ambitions, Olivia hoped to introduce Saffie to a friend - the kindly and wealthy Marcus - who runs a free school for the local children, but when Olivia falls ill, she's unable to. One night, Saffie's 17-year-old brother and her father go out on a job with Seth Black and never return. Saffie is forced to place her dreams on hold as she steps up to look after her family.
