As she sits in her Bloomsbury home, with her two birds for company,
elderly Harriet Baxter sets out to relate the story of her
acquaintance, nearly four decades previously, with Ned Gillespie, a
talented artist who never achieved the fame she maintains he
deserved. Back in 1888, the young, art-loving Harriet arrives in
Glasgow at the time of the International Exhibition. After a chance
encounter she befriends the Gillespie family and soon becomes a
fixture in all of their lives. But when tragedy strikes - leading
to a notorious criminal trial - the promise and certainties of this
world all too rapidly disintegrate into mystery and deception...
