If V. C. Andrews and Kate Morton had a literary love
child, Emma Rous' The Au Pair would be it. Seraphine Mayes and her twin brother, Danny, were born in
the middle of summer at their family's estate on the Norfolk
coast. Within hours of their birth, their mother threw
herself from the cliffs, the au pair fled, and the village
thrilled with whispers of dark cloaks, changelings, and the
aloof couple who drew a young nanny into their inner circle. Now an adult, Seraphine mourns the recent death of her
father. While going through his belongings, she uncovers a
family photograph that raises dangerous questions. It was
taken on the day the twins were born, and in the photo,
their mother, surrounded by her husband and her young son,
is smiling serenely and holding just one baby. Who is the child, and what really happened that day?
