Rosa Sweetman, a young Kindertransport girl, longs for her family to claim her after being the only child left at Westwood, a rambling country estate in the north of England, where she'd taken refuge seven years earlier. Carroll drives the story past friends old and new, alongside traditions, people and the fragility of the gorgeous, perilous River Sea world.
