"Harwood, master of creeping Victorian horror, does it again . . .
Twisted in every sense of the word and wonderfully
atmospheric."--"Booklist"
Confused and disoriented, Georgina Ferrars awakens in a small room
in Tregannon House, a remote asylum in England. She has no memory
of the past few weeks. The doctor, Maynard Straker, tells her that
she admitted herself under the name Lucy Ashton, then suffered a
seizure. When she insists he has mistaken her for someone else, Dr.
Straker sends a telegram to her uncle, who replies that Georgina
Ferrars is at home with him in London: "Your patient must be an
imposter." Suddenly her voluntary confinement becomes involuntary.
Who is the woman in her uncle's house? Georgina's perilous quest to
free herself takes us from a cliffside cottage on the Isle of Wight
to the secret passages of Tregannon House and into a web of hidden
family ties on which her survival depends.
"Redolent with a sense of foreboding . . . This gothic tale will
sweep you up into the very heart of Victorian England. A splendid
read "--Historical Novel Society, Editors' Choice
"A richly textured . . . and] masterfully constructed narrative . .
. Readers are guaranteed a thoroughly diverting time in Harwood's
not-to-be-trusted hands."--"The Independent" (UK)
"The crisp prose and twisty plot will encourage many to read this
in one sitting."--"Publishers Weekly"
