I found the process of development, and standardisation, of sign language extremely interesting, as well as the links between signing and etymology. Many thanks to Sarah Smith, John Murray Press, and Netgalley for arc in exchange for my honest review. She was arrested for apparently having thrown her child into the River Clyde and that there is someone who saw her.Once they had reached their destination, the clerk relinquished his charge to the keeper of the Castle Street Tolbooth, Thomas Sibbald, and scurried back to his duties.

From being a struggling single mother on a microbudget, she has built a career helping those who society has left behind. A young, deaf woman is witnessed throwing a child into the River Clyde from the Old Bridge in 1817 Glasgow.There are persecuted Irish Catholic laborers, including Jean’s paramour Jim Donnelly whose love for Jean isn’t enough for him to support her and her unborn child. This is a fascinating and thought-provoking read but most importantly a compelling and satisfying read. A striking and stylish literary page-turner that breathes life into the past, illuminating a fascinating corner of history by revealing its lost voices and contemporary resonance. The case is built up upon the developing trust between Jean and Robert in the decaying Tolbooth Jail although the gaol
