About This Book

A rough canalman and his conspirator abduct infant twins from a prosperous household and carry them to a squatter's hut, where the children begin separate, impoverished upbringings. The parents, including a prominent lawyer, endure prolonged anguish while an exhaustive search and legal inquiry consumes the father. The narrative alternates scenes of rural hardship and urban respectability, tracing the children’s development amid secrets, schemes of revenge, and divided loyalties. Episodes of suspense and melodrama drive a plot concerned with class disparity, parental devotion, and the struggle to restore order and truth.
