Secrets and haunting mysteries . . . A wonderfully powerful and poignant historical novel from the author of the TV Book Club bestseller THE LEGACY.Bath, 1821.
Rachel Crofton escapes her unhappy employment as a governess by marrying a self-made businessman. But her new life soon takes an unexpected turn.
Reclusive Jonathan Alleyn is a man tormented by the disappearance of his childhood sweetheart, Alice.
Starling, foundling child and now servant, is convinced that Alice, the woman she loved as a sister, was stolen from her. Did Alice run away? Or did something altogether more sinister occur?
