An American woman and her son uncover the buried secrets of an English manor house in this riveting novel. When a close relative falls ill, Hannah Larson and her neurodivergent son, Nicky, spend the summer at Ashton Hall, a historic manor outside Cambridge, England. Hannah, who left her academic career to raise Nicky, seeks refuge from her tumultuous life in New York City, marked by a painful betrayal. Upon arrival, Nicky discovers the skeletal remains of a woman in a forgotten part of the manor, prompting Hannah to embark on a quest for answers. She delves into centuries-old ledgers and personal papers of the manor's former inhabitants, vividly reconstructing the Elizabethan era of Ashton Hall, filled with its color and conflict. As Hannah investigates, her own life’s secrets begin to unravel, and she reflects on the complexities of motherhood and her relationship with Nicky. Through her journey, Hannah recognizes the struggles of the women who came before her, grappling with their destinies and the protection of their children. Rich with passion and strength, the narrative reveals that the most profound hauntings often lie within ourselves, intertwining the past and present in a powerful exploration of resilience and identity.
