Esme is a child who has been shaped by her family - particularly her mother,
who obviously has never liked her, her sister and her little brother who she
adores. More than sixty years later a grand-niece discovers her and takes
her under her wing. The novel is an unravelling mystery which takes the
reader on a journey of hope and despair and certainly kept me turning pages
for the whole of its length. A triumph indeed!
