The Observations is a hugely assured and darkly funny debut set in
nineteenth-century Scotland. Bessy Buckley, the novel's heroine, is
a cynical, wide-eyed, and tender fifteen-year-old Irish girl who
takes a job as a maid in a once-grand country house outside
Edinburgh, where all is not as it seems. Asked by her employer, the
beautiful Arabella, to keep a journal of her most intimate
thoughts, Bessy soon makes a troubling discovery and realizes that
she has fled her difficult past only to arrive in an even more
disturbing present.
