A beautiful woman known as the North Wind blows through a small village in Victorian London, and everyday lives are mysteriously enveloped by power and glory. Along the way, she visits a poor stable boy named Diamond and takes him with her on her journeys. "At the Back of the North Wind" explores the place of death in our lives, social injustice, and our deep need for love and forgiveness. C. S.
