Summary

When Jen goes to her grandmother's house for the last time, she's determined not to dwell on the past. As a child Jen adored Lily and suspected she might be a witch, but the spell was broken long ago, and now her death means there won't be any reconciliation.

In Lily's house Jen and her daughter, Marianne, reluctantly confront the secrets of the past and present - and discover how dangerous we become when we're trying to protect the ones we love.

Wasn’t sure

Wasn’t sure to start with but became unstoppable listening. A few good twists and turns. Some bits predictable but didn’t put me off.
