Summary

Some houses are never at peace.

Shortlisted for the Goldsboro Books Glass Bell Award. 

Shortlisted for the Historical Writers’ Association Debut Crown.

England, 1917.

Reeling from the death of her fiancé, Stella Marcham welcomes the opportunity to stay with her pregnant sister, Madeleine, at her imposing country mansion, Greyswick - but she arrives to discover a house of unease and her sister gripped by fear and suspicion.

Before long, strange incidents begin to trouble Stella - sobbing in the night, little footsteps on the stairs - and as events escalate, she finds herself drawn to the tragic history of the house.

Aided by a wounded war veteran, Stella sets about uncovering Greyswick’s dark and terrible secrets - secrets the dead whisper from the other side....

In the classic tradition of The Woman in Black, Anita Frank weaves a spellbinding debut of family tragedy, loss and redemption.

Critic reviews

"Supernatural and historical intertwine in Anita Frank’s unsettling first novel...reminiscent of other tales of the supernatural, but conveys its own frissons and shocks." (Sunday Times)

"With wonderful character...This is a brilliantly gothic adventure – and the perfect winter page-turner." (Sunday Mirror)

Great ghost story, shaky narration..

Such a great story - gripping, spooky - spoiled by the narrator's odd word pronunciation.

Wonderfully read

I devoured this audiobook. The story was engaging but it wasn’t that original. It was the narration that was really captivating.

Well written, and full of suspense!

I really enjoyed this book, my first time of reading this author. I thought the characters to be well developed and interesting. The story was good but I thought there were a few inconsistencies with the 'time', a few things didn't feel appropriate for the time of the first World War, however, this didn't dull my enjoyment!

Excellent overall.

A ghost story

A lovely, gentle, not too scary ghost story, set just after the first World War. Beautifully written with accurate attention to detail and very well narrated.
