Snaith is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story mainly focuses on a thirteen-year-old boy named Henry Harper, whose life takes a desperate turn as he encounters overwhelming adversity and harsh realities in a grim urban environment. As he seeks escape from his abusive surroundings, the narrative delves into themes of survival, fear, and the quest for belonging. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Henry Harper, a terrified boy pursued by an alcoholic woman who threatens him with violence. In a desperate bid for freedom, Henry narrowly escapes and finds himself hiding in a dark, foreboding garden. The narrative vividly describes his harrowing experiences, from his attempts to evade capture to his eventual discovery of the railway. After an intense series of events, he ends up on a ship, the "Margaret Carey", where he confronts new challenges and dangers, including a harsh crew and the fear of being treated poorly at sea. The opening sets the tone for Henry's journey as he transitions from a frightened street child to a sailor trying to find his place in a brutal world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
