After a terrible tragedy, governess Julia Pearlie finds herself
with no job, home, or references. When she’s offered a position
as companion to Miss Olivia Richmond, her luck appears to be
turning. But Mistcoate House is full of secrets. Olivia has a
sinister reputation. The locals call her the Mistcoate Witch,
thanks to her tarot readings, and her insistence that she can speak
to the dead. Her father, Dr Richmond, believes this to be girlish
fantasy and is looking to Julia to put a stop to it. Determined to
prove herself and shake off her own murky history, Julia sets to
work trying to help Olivia become a proper young lady. However, as
she becomes a fixture at Mistcoate, it is soon clear that there may
be more to Olivia’s stories than Dr Richmond would have Julia
believe – not least because somehow, Olivia seems to know
something of the darkness that Julia desperately hoped she had left
behind. As the danger grows, and the winter chill wraps around the
dark woods surrounding Mistcoate, Julia will have to fight to
uncover the truth, escape her past – and save herself. Original
and engrossing, this chilling Victorian Gothic ghost story is an
outstanding piece of storytelling, perfect for fans of Sarah Perry,
Erin Morgenstern and Jessie Burton.
