Description
My real name, no one remembers. The truth about that summer, no one else knows. Summer, 1862. Birdie grew up in the hands of a mysterious stranger, becoming by turns a thief, a friend, a muse, and a lover. Shortly after her eighteenth birthday, she retreats with a group of artists to Birchwood Manor, a beautiful house on a quiet bend of the Upper Thames. The scene is idyllic but, one hot afternoon, a gunshot rings out. A woman is killed, another disappears, and the truth of what happened slips through the cracks of time.
Over one hundred years later, Birchwood Manor guards its secrets closely. That is, until another young woman is drawn to the house. As the mystery begins to unravel, we discover the stories of those who have passed through Birchwood Manor since that fateful day in 1862. Flowing through its pages is the voice of a woman who stands outside time, whose name has been forgotten by history, but who has watched it all unfold: Birdie Bell, the clockmaker’s daughter.
