Description

The Butterfly Cabinet by Bernie McGill is an unforgettable story of two women linked by their roles in a tragedy at the end of the Victorian era. Set against the backdrop of a remote estate in Ireland, the novel explores motherhood and betrayal through the reminiscences of Maddie McGlade, a former nanny, and Harriet Ormond's long-concealed diaries. Seventy years after a tragic event, Maddie finally reveals her own role in the tragedy, shedding new light on the complex relationships between mistress and servant. As the past and present intersect, a hidden secret is uncovered, exposing the intricate web of connections between these two women. Through its exploration of motherhood, class, and the power dynamics at play, The Butterfly Cabinet offers a thought-provoking and deeply human story that will linger long after the final page has been turned.
