What’s with all the accents? Who were the Pendle witches? Why does Liverpool have a slavery museum? Which Brontë sister wrote the best book? And is it OK to eat chips, cheese, and gravy? (Spoiler alert: the answer to the last question is 'yes'). After ten years away from home, Ally Shepherd rediscovers her roots and finds answers to the region's important questions.
