Summary

1875

With their father missing and their mother suddenly passing, Esme and Gabriel are forced to track down their estranged grandfather in Lincolnshire. Cold and unwelcoming, he is reluctant to take them in, but aware of his standing as the village vicar, he knows must protect his reputation, and allow the children to stay with him.

Esme's relief at finding refuge soon turns to despair when Gabriel is sent to boarding school, leaving her alone in their grandfather's unhappy home. But the house isn't as empty as it first appeared and Esme, with her unusual gift of being able to see spirits, begins to encounter the ghosts of young women in the abandoned rooms and dark corridors of the rectory. The women are trapped between this world and the next, seeking help from Esme and leaving her with a mystery to solve if she is to stand a chance of establishing a peaceful, happy life.

Can Esme lay the ghosts to rest to save herself and find the life she deserves?

I just love every single book you write

To Rosie,

This book is no exception to every other book you write, I could cry for the people and the heartache that threads through your writing and I just melt at the end.

Also the lady that reads your stories is just amazing and makes it real through listening on audible. I honestly just buy the next book straight away and wonder if you will write a 2nd book with these characters and hearts

big hugs and thank you

Love Rosie Goodwin - poor narration

I have loved Rosie’s novels since the very first one I read…. back in 2020. I was so very happy to see that this story which is only new to the market is on Audible!

I’m not sure how decisions are made re who will narrate but unfortunately for me this story was quite undermined by the narration :(
The reader sounds, to me, as a young, slightly unconfident child might when they are asked to read aloud in class… because it really was just that! i.e. purely reading - minimal emotion, minimal inflection, poor awareness of the punctuation that is in the script.

I feel sad as I found this immensely impacting on the story. I could push through this enough to determine that it was an extremely well-written novel, with beautiful pieces, (potentially) well-rounded characters and etc, but I had to concentrate terribly hard to overcome the reader’s voice and I found my own mind having to play the words again, in my head!! ….. simply to give it the impact that the story deserved

I am sorry, narrator, but please stick to kids’ narration, which I feel IS a good fit.

I may buy the book itself now, and read it myself.
