1969 — James Farner

Almost five years on and fifteen-year-old Richard Warren is building a fledging career as a young author. With his schooling done and a bitter unwillingness to take over the family farm, he begrudgingly accepts a job at the local newspaper, the Ripon Chronicle. His time as an apprentice takes him outside the bounds of Yorkshire for the first time and he comes into contact with the fanatical Black Liberation Division anarchist group in London. For the first time in his life, Richard wrestles with independence and first love. But just who is that old face watching him from close by?
