On a secluded cliff overlooking the ocean sits a Victorian house that
contains a century's worth of secrets. By the time Jane Flanagan
discovers the house as a teenager, it has long been abandoned - yet
there are still clothes in the closets, marbles rolling across the
floors, and dishes in the cupboards. The place is an irresistible
mystery to Jane, and becomes a hideaway for her, a place to escape her
troubled, volatile mother.
Twenty years later, now a Harvard archivist, she returns home to Maine
following a terrible mistake that threatens both her career and her
marriage. Jane is horrified to find the Victorian is now barely
recognizable. The new owner, Genevieve, a summer person from Beacon
Hill, has gutted it, transforming the house into a glossy white
monstrosity straight out of a magazine. Convinced that the house is
haunted, Genevieve hires Jane to research the history of the place and
the women who lived there. The story Jane uncovers - of lovers lost at
sea, romantic longing, shattering loss, artistic awakening, historical
artefacts stolen and sold, and the long shadow of colonialism - is even
older than Maine itself ...
