Robert Falconer grows up in a small Aberdeenshire town under his stern Calvinist grandmother, with his friend the outcast Shargar and a forbidden fiddle hidden in the garret. Haunted by memories of a vanished father and by doubts about the harsh God he has been taught, he carries both questions with him from boyhood into manhood and the slums of London.
