Anotace knihy

In the coal-dusted streets of Grimethorpe, the morning doesn't begin with the sun-it begins with the whistle. The men go down the pit, and for a few hours, the village belongs to the paper boy.

To the miners of 1950s South Yorkshire, Skip is just a dull, ghostly lad-a clumsy figure with shocking, wispy white hair and a rhythmic clack-hop that echoes against the soot-stained terraces. They think he's too simple to be a threat. They think he's just delivering the Yorkshire Post.

They couldn't be more wrong.

Skip is a man of few words, but he is the keeper of a thousand secrets. From the high-society bedroom of the Pit Manager's lonely wife to the flour-dusted counters of the village bakery, Skip provides a service the weary, coal-stained husbands could never imagine. He is a patient man with legendary endurance and a quiet, honest touch that turns "The Great Silence" of the morning into an hour of unyielding heat.

With his white rockabilly quiff and translucent skin, Skip is a force of nature in a world of grey. But as the Lambretta fund under his floorboards grows, so does the risk of a village-wide scandal. From the bold nurse with the red smile to the mysterious lady at the edge of the moors, every woman in the village is waiting for the sound of Skip's feet on the cobbles.

Skip doesn't think about the consequences. He doesn't think about the "buns in the oven" or the letters from the coast. He just knows that when the husband is away, the paper boy is always ready to deliver.

"Skip" is a high-heat, gritty historical romance. A deeply atmospheric saga of the 1950s Barnsley coalfields, where the fog is thick, the secrets are deep, and every woman knows his name.
