* A SUNDAY TIMES HISTORICAL FICTION BOOK OF 2023 * 'Ingenious' -
THE TIMES 'A dark, inventive story' - SUNDAY TIMES Many would find
much to fear in Fyneshade's dark and crumbling corridors, its
unseen master and silent servants. But not I. For they have far
more to fear from me... On the day of her beloved grandmother's
funeral, Marta discovers that she is to become governess to the
young daughter of Sir William Pritchard. Separated from her lover
and discarded by her family, Marta has no choice but to journey to
Pritchard's ancient and crumbling house, Fyneshade, in the wilds of
Derbyshire. All is not well at Fyneshade. Marta's pupil, little
Grace, can be taught nothing, and Marta takes no comfort from the
silent servants who will not meet her eye. More intriguing is that
Sir William is mysteriously absent, and his son and heir Vaughan is
forbidden to enter the house. Marta finds herself drawn to Vaughan,
despite the warnings of the housekeeper that he is a danger to all
around him. But Marta is no innocent to be preyed upon. Guided by
the dark gift taught to her by her grandmother, she has made her
own plans. And it will take more than a family riven by murderous
secrets to stop her... Perfect for readers of Laura Purcell, Jessie
Burton and Stacey Halls, Fyneshade is a dark and twisted gothic
novel unlike any you've read before...
