The Cartographer's Daughter
In 1912, a quiet mapmaker's daughter in Derby inherits a box of unfinished surveys after her father's death and finds that one of them points to a village that no longer exists on any official record. As she follows the paper trail, she uncovers a family secret tied to land clearance, lost tenants and the reason her father spent years drawing places he was never meant to name.
