Description
Rachel's mother has recently passed away, and she sets off alone to her family's isolated country house to sort through the estate. As she begins to pack up and sell off the remnants of her mother's belongings, Rachel starts to feel that the house contains more than just memories.
She becomes increasingly convinced that the house holds a message for her, but it's not clear whether this is just the product of grief or something more sinister. As she struggles to put her mother's affairs in order, Rachel must confront the possibility that the past may be trying to make itself felt in the present.
This haunting and atmospheric novel explores the complex relationships between family members and the ways in which the past can continue to shape our lives long after it's gone.
