Claire came to the English village to find her best
friend, Melinda, who'd vanished after performing in a play
which re-creates a seventeenth century witchcraft trial.
What she found was a murder mystery and a man.
A man who, like her, is trapped between memory and desire.
The play takes place at the manor house where the
protagonists lived and died, a house where the past is
still a haunting presence. Did Melinda ask too many
questions about the village's tragic history? To find her,
Claire, too, must ask questions. What she learns is that
everyone in the village is playing a role ù not just in
the melodrama, but in real life.
Claire must walk a fine line between repeating the past
and surviving the present. For if she puts one foot wrong
she won't be seeing the future at all, let alone spending
it with the man she's not only come to trust but to love.
