Description
Sussex 1912. In a churchyard, villagers gather on the night when the ghosts of those who will die in the coming year are thought to walk. Here, superstitions still hold sway. Standing alone is the taxidermist's daughter.. The bell begins to toll and all eyes are fixed on the church. As the last notes fade into the dark, a woman lies dead. Why is the incident causing Constantia’s memories to surface from her own vanished years? And what is the secret that lies at the heart of Blackthorn House, hidden among the bell jars of her father's workshop?
