In a small village, three sisters’ lives are shadowed by secrets that refuse to stay buried. For fans of Sarah Penner and Jessie Burton.
1847. In a small lacemaking community, sisters Alma, Flora, and Gwen work around the clock on a wedding veil of extraordinary beauty and precision — work their future depends on.
When two clairvoyants settle in the village, residents quickly divide over whether their gifts are divine or a sham. Still marked by the stigma of their mother’s suicide, Alma fights to escape a betrothal forced on her by her embittered father to the odious Edmund Bentinck.
Only Gwen, the youngest, refuses to accept the verdict. Convinced the clairvoyants can reveal the truth, she begins asking questions. Will she uncover a secret that brings peace, or one that shatters their world?
Madeleine Reiss was born in Athens and lives in Cambridge. She has worked as a stage manager, a journalist, and as a communications specialist for various charities. Her novels include Someone To Watch Over Me, This Last Kiss, Before We Say Goodbye and Live A Little, and The Taking of Irene Hart.
