Beschreibung

Calcutta, 1857. A mute, scarred woman is carried through thestreets on a pallet. The lone survivor, they whisper, of the horrors in thebibighar. Her name is Annie Meade. And she must find her way home. The following year, veiled in widow's weeds, Annie stepsback onto English soil to reclaim the son she has not held for eleven years. But outside the walls of his Shrewsbury school she falters. How can a brokenwoman, her face still marked by a bayonet's slash, present herself to a boy whobarely remembers her. An unexpected letter offers refuge. At Knightwych Hall, thecountry seat of a distant relation, Annie is drawn into a household seethingbeneath its polished surface. Here, shadows assemble round every corner. Nothingis quite as it seems, least of all the residents who hold close the mansion'scruel secret. Who to trust in a world full of deception. When your mind isbombarded by nightmarish flashbacks. This is the daunting challenge Annie mustovercome if she is ever to find happiness with her boy. Anchored in Annie's own luminous journal, Annie Meadeis a richly imagined Victorian novel of trauma, survival, hope and grace.
