**From the bestselling author of Longbourn comes a ghost story that is
a thrilling--and sometimes chilling--tale about two women, separated by
almost two centuries, grappling with change and loss.
**
After her mother dies, Rachel sets off alone to pack up and sell off the
remnants of her family's isolated country house. But from the moment she
steps through the front door, she feels that the house contains more
than she had expected. Generations earlier, a young housemaid, Lizzy,
called the same dwelling home. On course for a life of service no
different from her mother and her mother's mother before her, Lizzy's
world is upended by the arrival of a mysterious lodger. Interweaving the
two narratives, Jo Baker brings these women, both struggling against
their stations and their duties, vividly to life.
