description: Illustrations by Gavin RoweIt all started with the cottage. Strange creaks and groans in the middle of the night heralded even stranger events, for it seemed as though the very foundations were moving. And on Sunday morning, when the Powley family returned from church, it was to find the adjoining cottage collapsed and their own home uninhabitable.Something terrifying was happening in the fields, too. When George and Josie went to see the result of the heavy rain they were suddenly caught up in an amazing natural drama. Josie found herself separated from her brother by a huge chasm, and her fear and panic turned to awe when she realized she was on an island surrounded by heaving, shifting land.Set in Norfolk in the late nineteenth century David Rees follows the lives of an ordinary family, set against extraordinary events.
