A magical new masterpiece from New York
Times bestselling author Susanna Kearsley! A rich,
haunting tale that will draw you in and never let you
go
"The house, when I first saw it, seemed intent on guarding
what it knew; but we all learned, by the end of it, that
secrets aren't such easy things to keep."
It's the summer of 1759, and the world is at war. Times are
complicated, as are the loyalties of many in New York who
have secretly been playing a treacherous game of
cat-and-mouse with their British rulers. In this world of
conflict and secrecy, a young captured French Canadian
lieutenant is billeted with a Long Island family, only to
find himself drawn more and more to the daughter of the
house. He cannot speak her language, but he can see into her
soul. Legend has it that their love ended tragically, but
centuries later, a young historian discovers that the clues
they left behind might slowly unveil the true story.
