All the people he discovers in the archive once lived, and this novel is an attempt to give them the voices they never had or, at least, never had recorded. Despite their poverty, lack of education, or influence, they survived, they had ambitions, made decisions, and had emotional lives. They left intangible inheritances for their many ancestors across the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Worrall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 191923490X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781919234908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Softwood Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Andrew Worrall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48454255739135,"sku":"9781919234908","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_652c6eab-16cf-4a08-910b-c1b07b7811c5.jpg?v=1777305118","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-inheritance-of-peter-tye-andrew-worrall-9781919234908","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
