Mexican Gothic meets Outlander in this spellbinding, atmospheric timeslip debut novel, as a woman struggling with her mental health spends the winter with her cruel in-laws in their eerie, haunting manor that sweeps her back through time and into the arms of her fiancé''s mysterious, alluring 19th century ancestor.
Traveling to be with her fiancés terminally ill mother in her last days, Saoirse Read expected her introduction to the familys ancestral home would be bittersweet. But the stark thrust of Langdon Hall against the cliff and the hundred darkened windows in its battered walls are almost as forbidding as the woman who lies wasting inside. Her fiancés parents make no secret of their distaste for Saoirse, and their feelings have long since spread to their son. Or perhaps it is only the shadows of her mind suggesting shes unwelcome, seizing on her fears while her beloved grieves?
As Saoirse takes to wandering the estates winding, dreamlike gardens, overgrown and half-wild with neglect, she slips back through time to 1818. There she meets Theo Page, a man like her fiancé but softer, more charming, and who clearly harbors a fervent interest in her. As it becomes clear that Theo is her fiancés ancestor, and the tenuous peace of Langdon Hall crumbles around her, Saoirse finds shes no longer sure which dreams and doubts belong to the presentand which might not be dreams at all . . .
