Book Synopsis

An unsettling and absorbing tale from the bestselling author of The Woman in Black.

Celibate, irreproachable and distinguished, Thomas Cavendish is in his mid-fifties and the obvious man to become Master of his college. But, walking by the river, Thomas sees a young girl standing on the bridge. It is an apocalyptic vision, one that alters Thomas''s life irrevocably and tragically, but with the beauty and joy of a love never previously imagined.
