A dazzling blend of fact and imagination, this novel takes the shadowy figure of Mary Bell Nicholls, second wife to Charlotte Brontë's widower, and weaves a tantalising tale of memory, love and family secrets.
Mary looks back on the summer of 1854, when her cousin Arthur honeymoons in Ireland with Charlotte, and how that period changes her life and perspective utterly.
Vivid, fresh, a story on the nature if stories, and who gets to control the narrative of a person's existence.
