Description

The Cottingley Secret by Hazel Gaynor In 1917, two young cousins from Cottingley, England, sparked a sensation when they claimed to have photographed fairies in their garden. Their discovery offered hope and wonder during a time of war, and the great novelist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle endorsed the photographs' authenticity. One hundred years later, Olivia Kavanagh discovers an old manuscript and photograph in her late grandfather's bookshop, which sets her on a path to uncovering the story behind the mysterious fairies. As she delves into the past, she begins to see the blurred lines between reality and imagination, and wonders if she can find a way to believe in herself. This is a story of two women, separated by time and circumstance, yet connected by their quest for truth and meaning.
