Two women, separated by decades, entwined by fate. The year is 1933 and twenty-two-year-old Alice arrives at Fiercombe Manor in rural Gloucestershire, pregnant and unwed, sent there to hide her disgrace until the baby is born.
There are secrets at Fiercombe that those who remain there are determined to keep. Tragedy haunts the empty rooms, and traces of the previous occupant, Elizabeth Stanton, are everywhere.
As Alice explores the manor and its history, she discovers Elizabeth’s life eerily mirrors the path she herself is on. A haunting and atmospheric gothic novel for fans of Kate Morton and Daphne du Maurier.
