Although their mother has left, Danny the narrator and his sister Maeve grow up happily in a magical house in small-town Pennsylvania until one day their father brings home their future stepmother. Banished from the house they love, it will haunt them all their lives, just as it will take a life-time for Danny to begin to understand and possibly forgive. A poignant, evocative read.
