Description
Lynx is a Grief Nurse, tasked with managing the negative emotions of the wealthy and influential Aster family. Kept at their Scottish island manor house, she has been isolated from the outside world for years. When the family's eldest son dies, Lynx attempts to alleviate their sorrow, but as guests arrive for the wake, their own secrets and grief come to light, causing tensions to rise. As the family's emotions escalate into jealousy, suspicion, hatred, and tragedy, Lynx finds herself at the center of a maelstrom. With romance, intrigue, and gothic world-building, this novel marks the debut of an extraordinary new voice in fiction, set against a subtly reimagined 1920s Scotland.
