Description
A beautiful and eerie story of love and memory from Judith Allnatt. Rosie Milford inherits a house in an old silk factory after her mother's death, moving there with her young children. As she navigates her new life, she uncovers a shocking truth about her own childhood that fills her with distrust and fearfulness. In the past, silk master Septimus Fowler had grand plans to modernize his factory, but behind the scenes, a dark world of illicit love, rebellion, and revenge was unfolding. Orphan Beulah Fiddement's story is one of guilt and bravery, which echoes down two centuries and changes Rosie's life forever. As Rosie struggles to overcome her own past and find redemption, she begins to see a strange child in the garden, lost like herself. This haunting tale weaves together love, memory, and the power of the human spirit.
