Following the mysterious disappearance of her husband, Dorothy Gibbons, affectionately known as Lady Pink Hat, trudges the lanes around Drumford, homeless and directionless. Alone she rolls a dice, reflecting on her life, times both painful and pleasant. She stumbles upon The Grange, an old disused Georgian farmhouse, and this changes the course of her fortune, although even this is not without conflict and drama. She finds an old social history book of her temporary refuge, but the sound of swinging from the rafters above her makeshift bed disturbs Dorothy and her imagination stirs her to write. Millie, an 18th Century aspirant nun, runs away from The Grange. Dorothy tells of her protagonist's adventures and tragedies, some parallel to her own. It is Jamal, a Syrian refugee and asylum seeker, whom Dorothy fosters until leaving school, who is driven to solve the mysteries. He and his brother settle in a nearby flat until the misguided Ahmed also disappears. With three missing people in his life, Dorothy, Gerald her husband and Ahmed, Jamal is determined to discover the truth? Is Millie also still haunting The Grange until her story is told?
