An evocative and dramatic novel told in the voices of two narrators, in two very different times…
In 1944 Violet is imprisoned in the tower of a rambling country house by her family, her young innocent love for a local lad gone horribly wrong.
60 years later, Claudine is the property negotiator involved in handling the sale of the now derelict Whitecliff, imprisoned herself in a marriage she rushed into after her father’s death. She is at a turning point in her life when she starts to find out the truth of Violet’s story.
Is happiness ever possible for these two women in their separate and very different worlds?
