Two women, living two hundred years apart but closer than sisters. Mary, miserable in her marriage to Thomas Carre, a merchant and privateer and living in the new family mansion in Georgian Guernsey. Lucy, separated from her husband after a tragic loss and now acting as an unwilling sitter for her elderly grandfather, Gregory Carre, who has inherited the same mansion. Lucy is haunted by Mary's continued presence in the house and finds herself being pulled more and more back in time. How is it possible for her to live as Mary? To experience scenes from her tragic life? Lucy is forced to come to terms with Mary's grief as well as her own. The more enmeshed she becomes the more anxious Lucy is to discover the truth. Why is Mary still restless? What caused her mysterious disappearance two hundred years ago? And can Lucy move on from her own loss to find happiness again? Editorial Review: "The haunting tale of two women, divided by time, yet with the power to set each other free. A gripping read." - Nicola Pryce, Author of The Cornish Betrothal
