About the book: 2021 / 1911. After an unsuccessful strike at the Singer factory in Scotland, young foundry worker Donald Cameron and his lover Jean are out of work and find themselves on the verge of great trials. On her last day at work, Jean hid a tiny note in the bobbin of a brand new sewing machine... This is a touching and surprisingly bright story of the lives of several families over the course of a century. A story about nobility, determination, pride, fortitude and selfless love. And also about a secret, the key to which was kept for many years by an old sewing machine. A secret that firmly united the destinies of three generations.
