Description

'A lyrical examination of how women carve lives out of a male-dominated society, even with a war looming that will change everyone.

I was surprised and moved' Tracy Chevalier'With echoes of Daphne du Maurier ... a mesmerising ghost story set in a dilapidated country house where things go bump in the night' Good HousekeepingJune 1914 and a young woman - Clara Waterfield - is summoned to a large stone house in Gloucestershire.

Her task: to fill a greenhouse with exotic plants from Kew Gardens, to create a private paradise for the owner of Shadowbrook.

Yet something is wrong with this quiet, wisteria-covered house.

Its gardens are filled with foxgloves, hydrangea and roses; it has lily-ponds, a croquet lawn - and the marvellous new glasshouse awaits Clara.

But the house itself feels unloved. Its rooms are shuttered, or empty. The owner is mostly absent; the housekeeper and maids seem afraid. And soon, Clara understands their fear: for something - or someone - is walking through the house at night. In the height of summer, she finds herself drawn deeper into Shadowbrook's dark interior - and into the secrets that violently haunt this house. Nothing - not even the men who claim they wish to help her - is quite what it seems.
