From Katherine Webb, the author of the acclaimed international
bestseller The Legacy, comes a compelling tale of love, deception,
and illusion
A vicar with a passion for nature, the Reverend Albert Canning
leads a happy existence with his naive wife, Hester, in their
sleepy Berkshire village in the year 1911. But as the English
summer dawns, the Cannings' lives are forever changed by two new
arrivals: Cat, their new maid, a disaffected, free-spirited young
woman sent down from London after entanglements with the law; and
Robin Durrant, a leading expert in the occult, enticed by tales of
elemental beings in the water meadows nearby.
Quickly finding a place for herself in the underbelly of local
society, Cat secretly plots her escape. Meanwhile, Robin, a young
man of considerable magnetic charm and beauty, soon becomes an
object of fascination and desire. Sweltering in the oppressive
summer heat, the peaceful rectory turns into a hotbed of dangerous
ambition, forbidden love, and jealousy--a potent mixture of
emotions that ultimately leads to murder.
