Description
Pains Hill is a psychological thriller that explores the extraordinary and ill-fated ambition of Charles Hamilton, the creator of Painshill Park. Set in both the eighteenth century and the 1990s, this novel delves into the mysterious life and death of his young first wife, whose disappearance from historical records remains a mystery.
Obsession takes many forms, as seen in the story of Charles Hamilton, who transformed poor scrubland into a dazzling landscape garden, including a man-made lake, islands, follies, and a successful vineyard. However, at what personal cost? The novel weaves together two timelines, one of which is threatened by a different obsession from the past.
A gripping thriller that also reveals the passions and cultural inspiration behind England's great landscape gardens, Pains Hill is a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
