1919. Mama is ill. Father has taken a job abroad. Nanny Jane is
too busy to pay any attention to Henrietta and the things she sees
– or thinks she sees – in the shadows of their new
home, Hope House.
All alone, with only stories for company, Henry discovers that
Hope House is full of strange secrets: a forgotten attic, ghostly
figures, mysterious firelight that flickers in the trees beyond
the garden.
One night she ventures into the darkness of Nightingale Wood.
What she finds there will change her whole world ...
A beautifully told debut with a classic feel, incorporating
themes of family, loss and childhood loneliness.
Ideal for fans of Emma Carroll and Hilary McKay.
