Description
A decades-old secret is finally revealed in this emotionally charged novel. When former nanny Maddie McGlade receives a letter from her last charge, she is compelled to confront the truth behind the tragic death of Charlotte Ormond, a four-year-old girl who died under mysterious circumstances. As Maddie's story unfolds, it becomes clear that the events leading up to Charlotte's death were far more complex than initially thought. Through a combination of Maddie's confessional and the prison diaries of Charlotte's mother, Harriet, the author weaves a vivid tapestry of the Ormond family history. The contrast between Maddie's impoverished life and Harriet's descriptions of wealth and privilege is striking, yet both women are haunted by their own repressed desires and secrets. Based on chilling events that took place in 1892, this dark and emotionally complex novel explores the devastating consequences of a tragic event and the long-lasting impact it has on those involved.
