Description
Harriet Baxter sits in her Bloomsbury home, surrounded by the quiet companionship of two birds. As she reflects on a life nearly four decades past, she begins to recount the story of her acquaintance with Ned Gillespie, an artist whose talent was overshadowed by his own ambitions. It was 1888 when Harriet arrived in Glasgow, drawn to the city's International Exhibition. There, she formed a connection with the Gillespie family and soon became an integral part of their lives. However, tragedy struck, leading to a notorious trial that left the promise of her world shrouded in mystery and deception. This account, spanning nearly four decades, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the certainties of life were tested by the complexities of human nature.
