Blackpool, 1938. Miss Margaret Finch - a rather demure young woman
- has just begun work in a position that relies on her discretion
and powers of observation, when her path is crossed by the
disgraced Rector of Stiffkey (aka Harold Davidson) who is the
subject of a national scandal, and newspaper headlines. Margaret is
determined to discover the truth about Davidson; is he a maligned
hero or an exploiter of the vulnerable? But her own troubles are
never far away, and Margaret's fear that the history is about to
repeat itself means she needs to uncover the truth urgently. This
deeply evocative novel ripples with the tension of a country not
yet able to countenance the devastation of another war. Margaret
walks us along the promenade, peeks into the baths and dares even a
trip on the love boat on this her first seaside summer season, on a
path more dangerous than she could ever have imagined.

'Enrapturing.' Red Magazine Miss Dilys Barltrop is a devoted member
of The Panacea Society, a cult populated almost entirely by
virtuous single women. When she strikes up a friendship with Grace
- a new recruit - God finally seems to be smiling upon her. But
Dilys is wary of her leader's zealotry, and fearful of those who
watch her every move, hoping for a sign of the deep and terrible
failings she struggles to keep hidden. Faith is supplanted by
doubt, and as both women come to question what is true and fear
what is real, Dilys will have to learn the true cost of absolute
devotion...
