The story unfolds in the remote island setting of Sark, focusing on the lives of two children, Nance and her half-brother Tom. As the mining industry transforms their once serene existence into a world filled with bustle and greed, the narrative explores themes of family conflict, personal growth, and the encroachment of modernity on traditional life. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Nance and Tom, who share a tumultuous sibling relationship against the backdrop of their transforming island. The siblings hide in a natural nook overlooking the busy Port Gorey, as Nance expresses her disdain for the disruptive mining activity that has altered their peaceful home. Tom, meanwhile, exhibits a mischievous nature as he engages Nance in banter. The chapter sets the stage for the struggles the characters will face as their family dynamics, defined by Tom's bullying and their mother's love, are tested amidst the rapid changes brought by the mines. Each character's personality and their evolving relationships hint at a deeper exploration of resilience and identity throughout the unfolding story. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
