I had a curious sense of being watched. June 1914 and a young woman
- Clara Waterfield - is summoned to a large stone house in
Gloucestershire. Her task: to fill a greenhouse with exotic plants
from Kew Gardens, to create a private paradise for the owner of
Shadowbrook. Yet, on arrival, Clara hears rumours: something is
wrong with this quiet, wisteria-covered house. Its gardens are
filled with foxgloves, hydrangea and roses; it has lily-ponds, a
croquet lawn - and the marvellous new glasshouse awaits her. But
the house itself feels unloved. Its rooms are shuttered, or empty.
The owner is mostly absent; the housekeeper and maids seem afraid.
And soon, Clara understands their fear: for something - or someone
- is walking through the house at night. In the height of summer,
she finds herself drawn deeper into Shadowbrook's dark interior -
and into the secrets that violently haunt this house. Nothing - not
even the men who claim they wish to help her - is quite what it
seems. Reminiscent of Daphne du Maurier, this is a wonderful,
atmospheric Gothic page-turner. A deeply absorbing, unputdownable
ghost story that's also a love story; for readers who love Sarah
Waters's The Little Stranger; Frances Hodges Burnett's The Secret
Garden; Margaret Atwood's Alias Grace; Jane Harris's The
Observations.
