Sally McShane’s new novel, The Observer, may be set in 1840s Halifax, but its themes are timeless.

The Observer is a mystery novel and a love story. It’s also a novel about the meanness of ego and hate. With compassion, sensitivity and humour, it will lift the reader towards our human struggle for humility and openness, and the deep desire to be understood and loved.
