    Summary

    Thomas Barrow is many things; a thorn in Mr Carson’s side, sworn enemy to Miss O’Brien, an underbutler in a grand house, the cause of Jimmy’s angry, foul moods, and a queer man trying to hold his life together in fractured times.

    Nobody expects Thomas to also be a father, least of all himself when his life unravelled many years ago.

    When his family life comes crashing into Downton Abbey, Thomas’s position becomes all the more precarious now that his biggest secret is out. Suddenly, the reality of who is depending on him, and who he can depend on, is starkly clear.

    Or is it?
